Designed by renowned style guru Yoshihisa Maitani, the Olympus Pen triggered a camera boom that would last through the end of the 1970s. Today the legend comes alive again in digital form with the release of the E P1. This first groundbreaking Olympus Micro Four Thirds model comes at a time when mirrors are no longer a necessary component for digital cameras with interchangeable lenses. Incredibly small size, retro style, and ease of use are a nod to the Pen s past. However, D SLR quality and a host of new features place the E P1 at the leading edge as Olympus innovative technologies reimagine the future. Now everyone can have the best of both worlds: high end design and D SLR performance.
