Jessops to hold Olympus E-P1 launch event

Photography enthusiasts located in the UK who are looking to pick up one of Olympus’ new E-P1 should clear their schedules for June 25th as Jessops has recently announced they will be holding a launch event for the camera.

David Bailey, well-known photographer, will apparantly be in attendance along with Jessops giving the first 50 pre-orders a free “Cross” pen which Pocket-lint reports is worth £300 (~$490). For those who don’t know, the E-P1 will be Olympus’ first Micro Four Thirds offering and feature the ability to record 720p video, a 12MP sensor and a beautiful 3-inch LCD screen.

So what do you say? Will you be attending?
