CENTER VALLEY, Pa., February 3, 2010 – The new Olympus PEN® E-PL1 is truly greater than the sum of its parts, with a surprisingly small camera body packed with technology normally found in bigger, bulkier and heavier professional Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) cameras and High-Definition (HD) camcorders. This third-generation PEN is built for shutterbugs who always wanted better pictures and considered a DSLR, but were intimidated by the bulky size and complex interface. The new camera's simple design and easy interface enable consumers to easily create amazing images never dreamt possible. It will make you wonder how Olympus managed to put all of these powerful features inside such a compact camera for only $599.99. (06:28 GMT)

PhotographyBLOG reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS2 digital camera on 05 February 2010 . They said: "The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT2 follows a long tradition of incrementally improving on a previous model by adding a smattering of new features. Cynics may argue that there's not really enough new features on offer to justify the upgrade, but the inclusion of freezeproof-ness, better waterproofing and shockproofing, plus a noticeably quicker auto-focus system, means that the DMC-FT2 is a serious challenger to the longer-established Olympus Tough series. As with its predecessor, ..." (00:55 GMT)

They said: "With the EX-G1 Casio can target not only adventure/outdoor types who might need a small and light camera with survivability in adverse conditions, but also Joe Average who can take it to Disneyland on a rainy day and not have to worry about Splash Mountain soaking its circuits. This camera is slim and trim, well built and simple to operate - auto shooting modes are all there is. At the ..." (00:52 GMT)

PhotographyBLOG reviewed the Olympus E-P2 digital camera on 04 February 2010 . They said: "With the tweaks and refinements to the Olympus E-P2 being relatively modest, existing E-P1 owners shouldn't feel the need for an upgrade. To sum up, chief 'improvements' are the newly included EVF and port for such, (slightly) enhanced functionality for video makers, and the two new Art Filters, out of which Diorama was the one we deployed most often for its otherworldly and at times painterly effects. The E-P2 is, ..." (11:09 GMT)

PhotographyBLOG reviewed the Nikon D3S digital camera on 03 February 2010 . They said: "If you've read the entire review, you'll know by now that the Nikon D3S is an exceptionally good camera. It inherits everything that was good about the D3, improves on a few things that weren't, gains a few new features, and takes image quality to a whole new level from what was already top notch in its predecessor. The build quality is excellent, and so is the handling. The camera ..." (11:08 GMT)

DigitalCameraReview reviewed the Olympus E-PL1 digital camera on 03 February 2010 . They said: "If the Micro Four Thirds space is where DSLR and Point and Shoot meet, then the E-PL1 is decidedly the most Point and Shoot oriented camera of the bunch. It doesn't have all of the sophistication of its predecessors, but it offers almost all of the same functions with the addition of a built-in flash for a lower price. We'll reserve judgement until we've put it through the full review ..." (11:06 GMT)
