Retro-Chic Olympus EP-1 Digital Camera Interchangable-lens, High-Definition Digital Camera

It might seem that the people responsible for creating the latest and
greatest in digital camera technology have run out of ideas when it
comes to design. After all, there is only so far you can go with size
and sleek lines, right? So what's a company to do if they want to stand
out amongst the plethora of point-and-shoots and slew of SLRs? How about
taking a cue from the days of Don Draper and drinking on the job. That?s
just what the folks at Olympus have decided to do and it just might
work. Enter the EP-1 interchangable lens system digital camera from Olympus.
The Olympus EP-1 looks like it just arrived on a stopover from the
1950s. But once you take a look under the aluminum and black hood, the
old school stops there. Touted as the world's smallest 12.3-megapixel
interchangeable lens system digital camera, the EP-1 is one pimped out
piece of picture-taking goodness. It has enough goodies inside to make
even 007 tear up with excitement. How's this for a complete package:

12 million pixels of resolution
Autofocus Live-View
Blur Free/Dust Free Imaging
ISO 100-6400 sensitivity
Auto-Adjustment and Face Detection
20 shooting modes (5 exposure, i-Auto, and 14 automatic scenes)
Shadow Adjustment
Art Filters
Total Live Control
3 LCD display
720p HD video recording at 30fps (1280×720)
Stereo sound and HDMI out
That list is just a taste of what's in store with this camera. Weighing
in at only 11.8 ounces you probably won't even know that you're carrying
it around and with all of the features they've managed to pack into this
puppy your gadget appetite won't go unsatisfied. This droolicious beauty
sports a 14-42 lens kit that retracts into the barrel when not in use
and Olympus' Supersonic Wave Filter helps keep dust under control when
swapping-out the lens for Micro Four Thirds, Four Thirds, or OM lenses.
All we can say is, damn. Priced at $749 (body only), $799 (with 14-42mm
lens), and $899 (with 17mm pancake lens and viewfinder) this is the
camera that you've been waiting for your entire life. For more info and
