    Olympus E-P1 Gets a Face-Forward Reveal; Official Announcement Tomorrow

    The Olympus E-P1 Micro Four Thirds rangefinder-style camera (and Gizmodo lust object) has revealed itself in an official, full-frontal shot, accompanied by some iffy specs.

    According to 43rumors, the E-P1 will shoot 720p video, and retail for just under $1000:

    SD storage
    13MP RAW, JPEG, and RAW+JPEG modes
    1280×720 video for 7 minutes at a time (presumably due to sensor heat)
    640×480 video for 14 minutes
    3" LCD with Liveview
    ISO 200-6400
    Shutter speed 60sec-1/4000sec

    All we know for sure is, the styling is a bit more retro-sexy than expected, thankfully, and an official (Japanese) announcement is due tomorrow. [43Rumors, Akihabara]
