An $800 pen. Impressive.

You missed the "Olympus fans" part.

Nice camera. I want one.

This is what I thought of when one thinks 'pen camera'. It is a camera in a pen.

Now that it is digital I s'pose that the PEN's original half-frame format is a non-issue.

Looks like a nice camera. But, sample photos for a 12.3 MP camera really should be a little more than 0.1 MP.

It made me think about the Pink Panther's tape recorder pen
