Olympus Pen Digital E-PL1 Try out.
Olympus E-PL1 is a 12.3MP Live MOS Micro Four Thirds Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera with 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 M.Zuiko Digital Zoom Lens (Equv. 28-84mm in 35mm). It was released on March, 2010. I bought mine from EBay for about $550. This is a interesting camera, compare to the traditional DSLR, it has a smaller Live CMOS sensor although it is still much bigger than the point-and-shoot compact camera. For me, the great thing is its small size (comparable to the compact camera) and weight and its ability of changing lenses. It is a cute little and well suitable for personal travel while still offer great images.
With such a small but powerful camera in-hand, I can't wait for trying it out. Fortunately, the weather finally gave a smile and we had a sunshine the past saturday after weeks of rain. The following pictures are took in Donaldson Park near Highland Park, NJ.
Since I am planning to use it as a travel camera, I am very interested in its point and shoot ability. Thus, the following pictures are taken using the i-Auto function only. It tells you what this camera can do, if you are still just in point and shoot mode.

Olympus known to have the beautiful blue sky, in which many people likes.
When exposure is right, this camera create beautiful picture with great details
But if the i-Auto function misses the expousure, the picture loses its detial
Again, this shows the limitation of i-Auto when shoot in difficult situation
The included 14-42mm M.ZD lens is a great one and create nice DOF
