Olympus PEN-1 Micro Four Thirds Interchangeable Lens Camera Now Available For Pre-Order

I’ve long been tempted to purchase a DSLR, but have held off for fear I’ll never use it given their lack of portability – you can’t hit the bars without looking like a total dweeb.  Announced last week, the Olympus PEN-1 Micro Four Thirds Interchangeable Lens Camera is now up for pre-order and is almost point and shoot small.   You can grab one sans lens for $749.99 or drop an extra $50 and walk with the body and a 14-42mm Zuiko Digital Zoom Lens.  Like I said, I’m tempted, but $800 is a whole lot to burn on a camera.  Expect the Pen-1 to ship in July.

    Well, you could always drop $7k for a Leica M8 w/o a lens (add $1000-$3000) ;-)

    if you’re really in DSLRs, you won’t mind bou’ the “lack of portability”. Try my Nikon D90.
