First Olympus E-P1 Kits Shipping at Amazon
Saturday, July 4, 2009

Amazon has the silver Olympus E-P1 and 14-42mm kit listed as "Available July 7", but they have already shipped orders to a few lucky Serious Compacts readers who kindly ordered via our product links. I don't have one yet myself but am excited to read your impressions. I do have a Sigma DP2 in hand (courtesy of Sigma) in anticipation of the shootout. Some preliminary impressions coming soon.

I received mine last week. I used it on a weekend visit to New York and was quite impressed. The picture quality was excellent—especially at night at 1200 ISO. The only problem so far which is that the camera switches off after about a minute of inactivity (I don't think this can be changed) and then it takes a bit too long to power up again and shoot. This makes it difficult for "quick' shots. Also, the RAW format (ORF) is not yet readable by my MAC and more important Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop but I suppose I should be a bit more patient. Overall it is a great improvement over other small cameras. I should post one of them to my blog (http://saxephoto.wordpress.com/) later today.
