Hands-on Review
Editors' Comments
[Read our full Olympus E-P1 review] The Olympus PEN EP-1 recalls the look and feel of the original Olympus PEN camera, but don't let the retro appearance confuse you; The EP-1 is the most forward-thinking innovation in digital photography in years. The EP-1 utilizes the Micro Four Thirds standard shared by Olympus and Panasonic. This allows cameras to take SLR-quality photographs without the mirrors or prisms that cause those cameras to be so large and bulky. The EP-1 has a large 12-megapixel sensor, the same sensor found in Olympus's SLR models, tucked inside a relatively small, lightweight form factor. It's incredibly portable, stylishly designed, and takes great photos (and HD video as well).

The Olympus PEN E-P1 hopes to revolutionize high-end digital photography, providing an SLR-quality sensor in a body only a little bigger than a point-and-shoot camera. Our initial take is that the E-P1 is a bold new design sure to make some waves in the coming months. By Michael Patrick Brady -
Best Cameras For Serious Photographers | Digital Camera HQ's Holiday Buyer's Guide
If photography has become a serious hobby, or perhaps even a potential career, these cameras will fit the bill. Digital SLR cameras require attention and patience, but your reward will be stunning photographs that could easily hang on the wall of a museum or in the pages of a glossy magazine. dSLRs range from affordable, entry-level models to tremendous high-end models intended for professionals. Below, you'll find our selection of the best and most accessible digital SLRs for consumers, cameras that strike a fine balance between cutting-edge technology and bang-for-your-buck value.
