The new Olympus E-PL8 is the latest model of the PEN series. PEN cameras are stylish and compact systems based on Micro Four/Thirds sensors and lens mounts. The camera is available in different colors, as are the numerous accessories that can be matched to the initial color choice.
I had Canon and currently have Pentax DSLRs, but I wanted to try something smaller, since I mostly do travel photography. At the same time I didn't want point-and-shoot. So I decided to try this camera with some caution: I was afraid that this is going to be a major downgrade from DSLR.
