Olympus Pen E-P1 Gets Swarovski Treatment Limited Edition Crystal-studded Pen E-P1 Appealing to Fashionistas, Makes Geeks Go Eww

Half a year ago when the folks from Olympus took the wraps off of their
new Pen E-P1 micro four thirds camera we couldn't have imagined that a
pimped out version would shock us that much. Nothing more than an
extreme eyesore for the passionate geek, this Swarovski-coated digi-cam
is a limited edition model with some fine retro-styling that just got
covered with hundreds of sparkling crystals for a more luxurious
appeal — which honestly, doesn't buy in for us.
Other than the special coating, under the hood there's the same Olympus
Pen E-P1 that brings the compact proportions of a point and shoot camera
and delivers close to a DSLRย thanks to its interchangeable lenses and
the 720p HD video recording capabilities.

Available in a special wooden box with two lenses (supposedly the
14-42mm zoom and the 17mm pancake lens) and a matching flash, the
Swarovski Olympus Pen E-P1 is is only available to order from Micro
Anvika in the sound and vision department of Harrods, in London, so if
it gets to your heart, make sure you have some 2,000 pounds before going
out shopping.
