Olympus has just launched the E-PL1, the third camera to fall under the brand’s PEN line of Micro Four Thirds cams. It sports a 12.3MP sensor that’s pretty much the same as the existing E-P1 and E-P2 models, but trumps its two more expensive siblings—at least for casual photographers—by adding a built-in pop-up flash that leaves the hot shoe available for other accessories (like an external flash or optical viewfinder).
Olympus has just announced the addition of a new cam along their popular Stylus Tough line of rugged, compact cams called the mju Tough-6010 (or Stylus Tough-6010 in the US). Built with a 12-megapixel sensor, the 6010 naturally comes with the features it shares with its other Tough-mates: a body that’s shockproof (up to 1.5 meters), waterproof (to 3 meters underwater), and freezeproof (to -10 C). It also introduces a new feature called “Magic Filters” for coming up with artsy stills.
