Say Hello - to the Olympus Digital Pen

An upgraded remake of their 1963 Olympus Pen camera - this bad boy boasts vintage appeal with modern day technology. With the risk of sounding like a total geek - the stats follow below:

Digital Pen shoots on a sensor that’s half the size of a 35mm film frame: in this case, an 18 x 13.5mm, 12 megapixel Four Thirds sensor (the same one used in the Olympus E620, a digital SLR). That sensor has 30-40% less imaging area than the APS-C sensors used in many digital SLRs, but it’s 9 times larger than the 5.76 x 4.29mm (aka 1/2.5″) sensors used in many compact cameras.

SAWEET! b day presents anyone?
