The Olympus PEN E-P1 is an interchangeable lens camera based on the Micro Four Thirds System that was announced back in August 2008. The camera is made out of stainless steel and aluminum, housing a 12.3 megapixel High-Speed Live MOS sensor. There's are features galore that include image stabilization, dust reduction, HDMI output. and HD Video at 30fps. The E-P1 ushers in the 50th anniversary of the original PEN-F film camera!
"As both a concept and a product the E-P1 is simply stunning. This is a bold and courageous move from Olympus and I for one feel confident that it will be rewarded by the market. The E-P1 is a refreshing change from all the 'also ran' DSLR black bodies and the boring oblong boxes of the compact world that look like mobile phones."
Olympus E-P1 with 14-40mm lens is available from these trusted sources:
Olympus E-P1 with 14-42mm lens - Amazon

So the new Canon G11 has been announced and people are looking - including me! But I have been carrying the G10 in my pocket for the past year or so and it has gotten to be a habit to grab my keys, wallet, a quarter (gotta have some cash) and the G10. Without it now I don't feel dressed. 
Pictures of your dog or cat if done right inspires exclamations of praise and encouragement's to "enter that picture in a contest"!
Digital photography has taken over as the main photographic method today. Ironically, go back just a few short years and most of us were shooting film, buying film, developing film, and getting prints for all out efforts. 
I spent a few hours with the camera and both lenses and here's my review:
