The Olympus E-PL1 has been reviewed on Dpreview

P.S.: I like this sentence: “The higher resolution and better JPEG engine of the E-PL1 puts the baby Nikon to shame” (link to the text on dpreview)

The camera is in Stock on Amazon / Adorama / BH

Easy folks! The rumor has still “FT3” value only (which means there is a 50% chance the rumor will become true). But according to one trusted and one new source the Olympus E-3 Olympus E-3 Olympus E-3 Olympus E-3 Olympus E-3 Olympus E-3 Olympus E-3 Olympus E-3 Olympus E-3 Olympus E-3 Olympus E-3 Olympus E-3 successor will become Olympus first “modular” camera. The E-5 (or E-4 or something else?) will be truly a revolutionary camera. The goal behind this new camera is to provide an ultimate solution for both FourThirds and MicroFourThirds users.

The new source told me that I should “think the Olympus OM4ti Olympus OM4ti Olympus OM4ti Olympus OM4ti Olympus OM4ti Olympus OM4ti Olympus OM4ti Olympus OM4ti Olympus OM4ti Olympus OM4ti Olympus OM4ti with modular sensor box assembly“. The only modular (non-mediumformat) camera to date is the Ricoh GXR. But we believe Olympus will provide a slightly different solution.

One of my trusted sources confirmed that the next High-End camera will be modular but he didn’t specify exactly how it will work. Sounds like you will be able to change the mount and probably there will be EVF and OVF modules.

An open letter to Panolympus (by Tyson Robichaud)

Our friend Tyson Robichaud analyzed the current situation of MicroFourThirds and in general mirrorless system. He ends his post with an open request to Panasonic and Olympus:

“My plea to both Panasonic and Olympus:
Panasonic: Now offering 3 different “small” dSLR style body lines that are barely smaller than a Rebel? Really? This is ludicrous in my mind….Please continue to advance the GF platform
Olympus: Please oh please have someone redesign your menus and interface.
To both (my rant): For the love of all that is holy, get some new, fast, reasonably affordable, small lenses to market to compliment the kit lenses you’ve already released.”

I do agree with his “analysis” and you?
