Olympus have just announced their latest Micro 4/3rds camera – the Olympus PEN E-PL1. This third iteration of the highly popular digital Pen serves as a cheaper cut-down version for beginners, but we feel some of the new functions make it in some ways more desirable than it’s more expensive brethren.

For USD200 less then what the E-P1 sells for, it sports a slight cosmetic makeover and has less direct controls as well as a slightly downgraded image stabiliser.

However, it does feature the same sensor as the E-P1 and E-P2, and also adds HD video recording and a much requested built-in flash which can also be used to wirelessly control the FL-36R and FL-50R flash guns.

Watch out for them to drop in three colourways from March 2010 onwards. In the meantime, headover to Dpreview for an extensive hands-on preview of the E-P1L as well as the full press release.
