Design

Just a bit over 1.5 cubic inches larger than the E-P1 and E-P2, with a boxier design, the E-PL1's aluminum body nevertheless weighs slightly less than its more expensive siblings. Though I don't think the PL1's design is as elegant as the other two's, it's still attractive, and I like the overall look better than one of its potential competitors, the Canon PowerShot G11. Also, the PL1 includes a pop-up flash, one of the main shortcomings of the other two Olympus Micro Four Thirds cameras.
