    This is going to kill so many consumer digital cameras.
    intro
    Well.. Here it is. The new Olympus Pen series:

    12.3 Megapixel Live MOS Sensor
    Two new kit lenses (14-42mm M.Zuiko and 17mm F2.8 Pancake)
    TruePic V image processor
    3.0″ LCD screen (fixed, 230k dot resolution)
    HD movies (720p) with stereo sound (needs 1080)
    Linear PCM sound recording
    3.0 fps sequential shooting
    Built-in IS with max. 4 EV steps efficiency
    Optional Adapters for all ZUIKO DIGITAL & OM lenses
    Dual control dials
    Face Detection & Shadow Adjustment
    Art Filters, multi-aspect ratios, multi exposure
    In-camera raw conversion

    Sounds like they want it to make some raw looking art files. multi exposure? does it offer digi light leaks?

    The 17 f2 lens will be nice. Acts like a 35ish mm lens, at f2 will be strong in low light. I will be replacing the G10 for sure. Enjoy!

    Spike Jonze helped make this camera popular in art circles in the 90′s. 2 vertical frames fit on 1 35mm horizontal frame. I always wondered if you could have used this camera for stop frame animation / motion picture format. I still keep a pen f loaded with 1600 iso black and white film for low light point and shoot situations.
