The Olympus Pen: a legend returns
In 1959, Olympus changed the face of photography by pursuing one simple idea: create a camera as easy to use and carry as a pen.
Designed by renowned style guru Yoshihisa Maitani, the Olympus Pen triggered a camera boom that would last through the end of
the 1970s. Today the legend comes alive again in digital form with the release of the E-P1. This first groundbreaking Olympus Micro
Four Thirds model comes at a time when mirrors are no longer a necessary component for digital cameras with interchangeable lenses.
Incredibly small size, retro style, and ease of use are a nod to the Pen’s past. However, D-SLR quality and a host of new features place
the E-P1 at the leading edge as Olympus innovative technologies reimagine the future. Now everyone can have the best of both worlds:
high-end design and D-SLR performance.
