Olympus E-PL1 (black, body only)

THE GOOD: Excellent build quality; very good photo quality; can shoot raw+JPEG in every mode, including Art Filters and iAuto. THE BAD: Slow, with sluggish autofocus; short battery life; low-resolution LCD. THE BOTTOM LINE: Reasonably priced for an interchangeable-lens model, with the same high-quality photos of its siblings, the E-PL1 nevertheless suffers from slow performance that makes it a...

DCRP Review: Olympus E-PL1

With the E-PL1, Olympus has created a compact, user-friendly interchangeable lens camera that is -- dare I say -- better than its more expensive siblings (the E-P1 and E-P2) in most respects. Sure, it doesn't have the eye-catching retro design, but the E-PL1 produces better looking photos (especially at high ISOs), has faster AF and continuous shooting speeds, and a built-in flash.
