New Oly Pen E-P2

The new Olympus M4/3 camera anouncement:

Pen E-P2

Well, it's not an SLR, so I posted here. Looks like they reworked the slow AF, but LCD is still a crapish 230K dots. No new M4/3 specific lenses.

The only changes that I see are a tracking AF, a new electronic viewfinder, and a new connector on the body to talk to the EVF. I've heard the E-P2 described as more of a firmware update than a new camera.

As I understand it, Olympus will continue to sell the cheaper E-P1 alongside the E-P2.

And a new VF-2 shoe-mount electronic view finder which has been reviewed favorably. Not much use underwater.
