Olympus Announces New PEN DSLR Camera

If you like the cool, retro design of the PEN E-P1 DSLR 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)
