Olympus E-P1 design was unintentional: Interview

The recently announced Olympus E-P1 caused quite a stir in the imaging industry partially because it uses the new micro four thirds technology, but primarily due to its retro aesthetics. We find out more about this unique design.

Olympus E-P1

The Olympus E-P1 looks like something out of the 1950s, and that's because it almost is. Based around the classic Pen camera series from the company, the E-P1 is the world's third production model camera to use the micro four thirds format.

Reviews

  • HP 2309m

    At a price of AU$649, the 2309m is a decent buy. While it performs well, the blacks aren't as deep as we'd like, and we'd be more tempted to find something with a matte screen to cut down on reflections.

  • Sony Handycam HDR-XR200V

    It's the active image stabilisation system that finally makes shooting lengthy handheld movies or on-the-go videos a viable option, which elevates this camera from average to good.

  • HTC Dream

    Google's Android is awesome, but the Dream needs work. Parts of this handset are superb, but its lacklustre design and poor battery life hold it back significantly.

  • Panasonic SA-BX500

    The Panasonic SA-BX500 sounds OK but is too hard to recommend because of too many limitations for its asking price. The wireless surround pack works well, but just adds expense to an under-featured receiver.

  • Sony Handycam HDR-XR500V

    With its new back-illuminated CMOS sensor, GPS receiver and active image stabilisation, this new Handycam looks set to usurp the camcorder throne. We can't wait until we're able to do a full review.

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1

    For the world's first camera based on the micro four thirds format, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 is incredibly refined, though not perfect. Still, its size, image quality and design will undoubtedly sway many a first-time SLR buyer.

  • Denon AVR-1909

    The Denon AVR-1909 sounds great and is fully featured, but isn't the easiest receiver to set up and use.

  • Toshiba XD-E500

    Toshiba's XD-E500 provides a simple way to make humble DVDs look a bit better, but don't be fooled into thinking that it'll magically turn them into Blu-Ray discs.
