Still bad availability for the white E-P1 but things are going better for the SIlver E-P1 + 17mm lens kit!

Amazon US: Silver only + viewfinder (In Stock!)

BHphoto: Silver with + viewfinder (In Stock!)

Adorama: Silver with + viewfinder (In Stock!)

All three shops sells them fot the same price $ 899.99.

Amazon Germany has a discount on the E-P1 Kit (14-42mm) EUR 712,98 (and white E-P1 kit!)
and Olympus E-P1 Pancake Kit (17mm) EUR 771,90 and white E-P1

I really like the open source philosophy but I never thought it could be applied to a photographic camera. After reading the article I can’t wait to see the first production open source camera which should be on market by the end of the next year.

And if you think it’s a joke take a look on the companies that supports the project: Nokia, Adobe Systems, Kodak, and Hewlett-Packard!!!

The “Frankencmera” should cost 1.000$ only. But we stil doesn’t know what kind of specifications the camera will have.
