Take a look at that camera and tell me you're going to deny yourself of it? This Micro Four Thirds 12.3 Megapixel beauty with optional interchangeable lensese comes with an optional retro-style square viewfinder that sits in the hot shoe too! Faux-leather grip also has 3 colour to choose from.
Why is it called a Digital Pen? It's based on the old Olympus Pen F:
The Pen F, first introduced in 1963, shot on 35mm film but used just half the usual frame, so you could fit 48 shots on a 24-frame roll. Its portability and good looks made it a bit of a cult favorite, eventually selling more than 17 million units across 17 different models, according to Olympus.
