Olympus PEN E-P1

 Olympus' PEN E-P1 is a unique camera that falls in its own category. It is not a Digital-SLR camera, but allows for interchangeable lenses and has more advanced features and technology (for example, Olympus' TruPic V image processor) than Olympus' point-and-shoot models.

The E-P1 is more compact than a DSLR and the lens mounts are smaller as well. There are multiple image stabilization features (in-camera, optical and digital), an on-board dust reduction system, and 19 automatic shooting modes, as well as much leeway for manual customization. The overall resolution is 12.3 megapixels, and the rear features a 3"-diagonal LCD screen. This camera is also capable of HD video recording as well as audio recording, has several built-in art filter options. Other features include shadow enhancing, face detection, and a digital leveler.
