Underexposed photos are bad.
Overexposed photos are worse.
Out-of-focus and blurry photos worse still.
But the worst photos are the ones that are never taken.
There are times and places I wish I'd had my camera with me, and many of those are on occasions I consciously left my SLR behind. My new camera, the Olympus PEN E-P1, is a part of a new category of cameras that has the image quality of an SLR, but the size of a beefy point-and-shoot. This means I can travel lighter (although I'm traveling lighter anyway since I sold a lens to help pay for it), and on vacations I won't have a whole bag dedicated to gear.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to having a walkaround camera to hopefully catch more of those photo moments I've been missing.
Here it is with the 20mm 1.7 Panny.
Update: Here's a set of some snapshots on Flickr. So far, I'm impressed by the handling and feel of the camera (albeit it's definitely heavier than it looks, but it's solid). ISO 1600 also seems quite usuable--at least comapred to most of the Oly DLSRs I've had.
