No mention of the Sigma DP1/2? I just got a used DP1, it's kind of slow, both in aperture and handling, the DP2 is supposed to be faster though, f2.8 as opposed to the 4.0 of the DP1. The DP1 is still a nice camera though, both in specs and looks. And you can get one used pretty cheap. Nice wide lense, shoots RAW, no annoying digital zoom, no reduntant face recognition, no 400 different programs (just auto A P M, sound and movie), no posterize, invert or other lovely looking image processing built in. Just a... clean working camera, you should probably get a DP2 if you can afford it though, i see the possibility that the slowness of the DP1 could be too much for some users. I shoot almost exclusively film with SLR otherwise and the DP-series and it's aimed at people who already know the basics of photography so that's why I like it/some people would hate it. I guess is kind of a photographers-compact (i wouldn't say it's a P&S) as opposed to the I WANNA TAKE PICTURES OF MY WIFE AND KIDS AND FISHING BUDDIES-crowd of compacts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigma_DP1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigma_DP2 http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=sigma%20dp1&w=all Click here for the full 1280x794 image.

I don't know really, I myself didn't need interchangeable lenses and couldn't afford an EP1 (and also i hate olympus). My guess is if you google EP1 and DP1 together you'd get some comparisons and 200 threads of pixel peeping on the subject to read. The DP1-lense folds out btw.
