Olympus Photo Safari Group - Team Review of the Olympus E-P1

The Olympus E-P1 is the most compact interchangeable lens digital camera on earth... carrying on the spirit of the legendary Olympus PEN. The camera will be of huge interest to our Olympus Photo Safari Group members and subscribers around the world.

This will be a great opportunity to create a Safari Group Team Review based on a shared user diary...

We hope that you will enjoy helping us with your questions and observations below.

Here are the ground rules -

If you've used the E-P1 - please Create a new entry with your observations.

If you have questions or comments on the observations - please post a comment below the diary entry.

There are any number of previews and reviews on the internet by professional reviewers - check out this in-depth preview by Simon Joinson while we're waiting for the full lab tests from dpreview.

The key thing about this team review, is that each observation below can be reviewed, challenged and guided by our Safari Group members. If you would like to help with your own suggestions for tests and comments, please feel free to join us here.

We're also planning a series of street shooting events around the UK, where our members can have personal time with the E-P1, and any experience/guidance we can offer using it. Details on our Inside News section.

Kind Regards

Brian

Huge thanks to Safari Group member Dale Cotton, in Ontario Canada for his E-P1 Summary Page.
