Olympus Releases the E-P2

"The Olympus E-P2 ($1099) is the second "Digital Pen" interchangeable lens camera from the Japanese photo giant. The E-P2 is essentially an enhanced version of the E-P1, which was introduced just five months ago. The vast majority of the features on these two Micro Four Thirds cameras are identical: same sensor, same image processor, same LCD, same features (mostly)."
If you were a fan of the E-P1, Olympus has released a new version of this camera - but it looks like it's going to complement, not replace, the E-P1. There's still no built-in flash, but they've added an accessory port for an electronic viewfinder. I'm a little surprised at the price point...I have a hunch Olympus is excited to have a camera that has a lot of buzz around it and they're going to cash in while they can.
