Olympus E-P1 – initial impression

To me (or many amateur photographers), the holy grail of travel photography is to have good image quality in a small package. Even though I have couple of small DSLRs and compact digital cameras, it is still a very tiring trip if you need to take two bodies, a few lens, flash, batteries, monopod, digital wallet etc. with you all the time.

And after years of waiting / researching / praying, finally there is one camera can deliver all the goodies I want – stylish, small, good image quality, low noise in high ISO, and some no-brainer idiot-proof special effects. It is the Olympus E-P1. Even I like it a lot, for now, it is not the perfect camera yet. For example, there is no EVF, no flip-out LCD VF, and there are not many good lens available yet. However, I guess I can keep researching / praying …

Anyway, some photos:
