If you like the cool, retro design of the PEN E-P1 EVIL camera from Olympus, you now have a second, more powerful retro-looking option: The PEN E-P2.
The PEN series of digital cameras borrows its design from the traditional PEN film cameras. The PEN E-P2 (pictured here) will include 12.3 megapixels of resolution, HD video options, stereo linear PCM audio recording, and eight in-camera art filters.
Look for the PEN E-P2 to be available in December with a price of about $1,100, which includes the camera body and a starter lens. With its advanced features, it is slightly more expensive than the PEN E-P1, which you probably can find for about $800-$900 with a starter lens. (Compare Prices)

Kyle – do you know of any SLR digital cameras on the market that have high speed video capability (1000 fps). The casio Es100 has high speed film capability but it is not SLR – i need an SLR that is not auto focus with 1000 fps capability ??
Good question – I do not know of any off the top of my head, but I’ll do some checking.
What a lot of people don’t understand about 1000 fps video is it requires lots of light. Big sensors and fast lenses are advisable – something Fujifilm and Casio don’t get yet. An interchangeable lens 1000 fps camera has the advantage that it puts the choice in the hands of the photographer whether or not to purchase a fast lens for it.
