CES 2011 is just around the bend, and while LG's 72-inch monstrosity
will undoubtedly see its fair share of attention, Olympus is hoping to
shake things up in the camera realm. Or so we're led to believe. The
shot above is purportedly the first leaked image of the outfit's
forthcoming E-PL2, the Micro Four Thirds followup to the E-PL1. The
real question here is this: did Olympus' engineers take your advice on
how to change it? According to 43 Rumors, this guy will ship with a
new 14-42mm f/3.5 - 5.6 kit lens, a 'direct movie' button, high-res 3-
inch display, an ISO ceiling of 6400 and an intriguing Bluetooth
module as an option. Cleverly dubbed Penpal, this is essentially the
most sensible method of sending photos you snap on your camera to the
web, be it on Facebook, Flickr or any other social network. If you've
got the apparatus plugged into the hot shoe, you can sync it with your
BT-enabled smartphone (Android or "Windows Mobile," we're told) and
use its cellular connection to complete the upload. Definitely a more
logical approach than shoving a 3G chip into a digicam, and
undoubtedly a trend we expect to see take off in 2011. Regrettably,
there's no pricing or release information to share, but all should be
revealed in a matter of days.
