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.
