The Olympus E-P1 is a funny device. Everyone was stoked when Olympus first announced the retro camera, but then people actually got it in their hands. There were some issues with the first-gen camera. Some have been addressed in previous update, but now the manual focus is getting some attention with the upcoming 1.3 firmware update.

Occasionally the camera would freeze when in the manual focusing mode, no doubt causing many to loose their shot. But keep on eye on your email inbox and also the support site for the E-P1. Hopefully soon Firmware 1.3 will pop-up. [DPReview]
