Olympus Pen E-PL1 review
In the 12.3-megapixel Pen E-PL1, Olympus has finally made a Micro Four Thirds camera for the masses.

For a sub-£100 camera, the metal-bodied, 8-megapixel X-880 feels sturdy, looks smart, and takes clear, crisp pictures. Although the menu system is quirk-ridden, the snappy autofocus and 5x optical zoom make this a speedy point-and-shoot compact camera for undemanding users Read more
