E-PM2's deja vu design (pictures)

Though still intended for point-and-shoot upgraders, the camera looks a lot more like the old E-Pl1 than its predecessor.

Lori Grunin
I've been reviewing hardware and software, devising testing methodology and handed out buying advice for what seems like forever; I'm currently absorbed by computers and gaming hardware, but previously spent many years concentrating on cameras. I've also volunteered with a cat rescue for over 15 years doing adoptions, designing marketing materials, managing volunteers and, of course, photographing cats.

Compact

The E-PM1 had an almost featureless front; now it's got a racing stripe and a grip.

Back

The back looks a little more traditional than its predecessor, and incorporates a touch-screen LCD.

Hot shoe

The camera still doesn't have a built-in flash, so there's a hot shoe for the bundled unit that also accommodates accessories like an add-on mic and Bluetooth adapter.

New filter

Olympus adds another art filter to its repertoire: Watercolor.
