Olympus has made its Micro Four Thirds camera official. The E-P1, also known as Digital PEN is named after Olympus’ vintage PEN series and packs decent features.

Other features it includes are a 3-inch LCD claiming to have a 100 percent color accuracy, HD video (720p) recording with an option to playback on HDTVs via the included HDMI port, Supersonic Wave Filter to remove dust and other particles from the sensor and SDHC storage support.
