You heard about it here just a few days ago, folks, but the word has come back in grand style on the Olympus PEN E-PL1, and we’ve got pricing data.

It’s now available, and you can get your hands on one of these monsters for six hundred bucks.

What do you get for your six hundred bucks, you ask?  Simple–you get a twelve megapixel camera that can record video in 720p at thirty frames per second, along with an interchangeable lens design, a built in pop-up flash module and a choice of colors.  Some are a bit dismayed that the LCD screen on this one is slightly smaller than that of its predecessor, but there’s still plenty to like about this new Olympus.

Sounds like a pretty solid model, even if you can probably do better on price with other models, and these days, pricing is a VERY important consideration in just about any purchase any more.
