When it comes to performance, the E-P1 is a workhorse. Using the 17mm pancake lens, we found the camera a breeze to use. In fact, you could kid yourself into thinking that what you have in your hand is a simple point-and-shoot compact.
And that is the beauty of the camera. It's a DSLR (well, as close as you can get with the mirrorless micro FourThirds system) in a compact body, one that will be desirable to both the pros and first-time snappers.

Manual focus was a breeze, the pancake lens ring is smooth and somewhat satisfying when used. If you want a bit of zoom action, then there's also a 14-42mm zoom available.
The 12.3MP Live MOS sensor works will with the camera's TruePic V processing, with shots looking both vibrant and crisp.
