Olympus E-P1

Bought the E-P1 as soon as it reached the retailer shelf. So glad that I got it in time as a birthday gift for myself. :)
I've always liked the small form factor. It is not small enough to replace a LX3 but the E-P1 system is significantly small and light enough to differentiate itself from the DSLR.

I've yet to examine the raw files but the JPG are pretty good. I also liked the Art-Filter, an in-camera processing software, to alter images with saturated colours, soft-focus and pin-hole effects etc.

I'm currently shooting in RAW with JPG and find that the camera can be pretty slow in clearing the buffer after firing several shots continuously. And with the Art-Filter in use, continuous shooting is disabled and all the CPU resources are utilised to process the filter effect. And at times, the LCD screen can appear to be jerky with very bad refresh rate, which may result in missing the critical moment.

Overall, I liked the camera. Its has an cult status appeal and inspires me to make photographs.
