A couple of pros who are excited about small, serious cameras have put the new Olympus E-P2 through its paces:

Olympus has announced a new digital PEN camera, the Olympus E-P2 (available for pre-order at Amazon). The major differences from the E-P1 are as follows:

• Ability to use a new, high resolution add-on EVF
• Black paint color under a glass coat

The Olympus add-on EVF looks to be a good bit larger than the GF1 add-on EVF, but based on specifications and early user reports, the added size comes with significantly improved resolution and quality.  Here is a size comparison of the E-P2, GF1, and G1 approximately to scale:



Availability of the E-P2 has been reported as December or January.

Two new lenses were also announced and should be available in the first half of 2010:

• M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 9-18mm F4.0-5.6
• M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 14-150mm F4.0-5.6

As noted above, the E-P2 is already available for pre-order at Amazon
