Olympus E-P2 will be available on Monday 14th December 2009 via Amazon with attractive bundle. The first bundle is Olympus E-P2 with 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens plus electronic viewfinder, and the second is Olympus E-P2 with 17mm f/2.8 plus electronic viewfinder. The price will be the same for each bundle, $1099.
Meanwhile, the original EP-1 price drops to $700 from $799 a few months ago.
What is the different between EP-1 and EP-2? E-P2 has better LCD screen (460k vs 230k), and an electronic viewfinder. It comes with popular black color.
Olympus E-P1 and E-P2 are part of micro four third system. If you like these cameras, you might want to look for Panasonic m43 cameras as well.

Unless you absolutely must have an electronic viewfinder, the E-P2 is not a major enough upgrade over the E-P1 that you should run out and replace your current E-P1.
If you’re a new buyer however, and if it comes down to a choice between the E-P1 and E-P2, I’d say go for the E-P2 if you can afford it. – Tan Kit Hoong, The Star Online
