Perhaps the E-PL1 has a lighter AA filter indeed, therefore the better details. :cheers:

Just because Canon shortchanges their customers doesn't mean everyone else does. j/k :bsmilie: The TruePIC [fill in the blank] processor may be the same part, regardless of the body.
It's been mentioned several times that the anti-aliasing filter is less aggressive.
The internal flash of the E-PL1 can be bounced!! Human-adjusted bounce... :bsmilie::bsmilie: Those guys going for the hands-on can try it out.

He knows to adjust the flash angle, but not to remove the lens cap? :bsmilie:
got a quick hands-on on a very early pre-production model.
1. the E-PL1 does not have the same premium feel of the E-P2, but the finish is still very high quality, like a good compact PnS.
2. manual exposure controls are activated via the EV Com button (Up on D pad) then L-R for aperture, U-D for shutter. press and hold to run through F-stops quickly.
3. didn't test the flash but its very much like the GF1, no point trying to bounce it as such a low GN
4. definitely feels smaller than E-P2 and GF1
5. AF feels faster but i was using a UWA lens, not the 14-42
6. being an entry level camera, operation will not be as smooth as the E-P2 and will need to refer to the LCD often
7. super control panel has been simplified
8. direct video rec button is well placed
i won't comment on the handling of the E-PL1, for those attending next week's hands-on session, you can decide for yourself.
for those who have not used the E-P2, i personally find it to be the perfect street photography tool, especially with the EVF and a fast MF lens. for street shooting, the E-P2 feels more well thought out and complete especially when changing settings quickly, much better than my GF1. flash not necessary.

nice hands-on there. i have a feeling people will understand the distinction between the E-P2 and E-PL1 once they get their hands on it.
I read a good review on a blog about the rapid development of the Pen: http://iantan.org/archives/2114
The latest addition is too plasticky. I'm considering the first one. I'm fine without the in-built flash.

It is actually on sale in Amazon over the weekends. Many in USA have purchased and are using E-PL1 now. It is so popular that it has run out of stock for some colors. For Singapore side, there are rumours that E-PL1 will be launched during next week IT show. Fyi, the US RRP is US$599. Olympus Singapore has yet to announce the local retail price.
