Digital Home Thoughts: Olympus PEN Cameras Eagerly Anticipated

"Olympus has been reported to be releasing new versions of its high-performance PEN cameras later this year or early next year. The first PEN to be released will be nicknamed the "Olympus PEN Pro" model - a high-end model with touchscreen technology. Another model to be released will be a mid-range PEN camera with a tilt screen and the third rumored model will be a PEN camera that's said to follow the original PEN EP-1′s design."

If you are in the market for what will almost surely be a high-quality portable camera, you may want to wait a bit and review one of these eagerly anticipated upcoming Olympus cameras. The folks over at the Ubergizmo website report that these cameras are expected to produce SLR-quality images in a nice compact format. While it is uncertain exactly which features will be included in each model, the touchscreen technology (if it is indeed included) is one feature I will be curious to try out.
