Olympus E-P1

By now, most of us have seen the legitimate appearing, leaked photos of the upcoming E-P1 from Olympus:

Some points of interest:
  • Tiny Olympus 17mm f/2.8 lens; slow by comparison to the similarly unavailable Panasonic 20mm f/1.7, though the Olympus lens appears to be even smaller than the Panasonic
  • Tiny overall size; based on the hot shoe, this camera and lens combo is sized similarly to the Sigma DP1, Panasonic LX3, and Canon G10.  OMuser.com has a useful size comparison is here.
  • There appears to be a paucity of tactile controls for things like aperture, ISO, and shutter speed, but that remains to be seen.
