It looks like the advertisement is calling it "ultra compact" and "flat". Ultra compact is a well-defined market that this camera is not a part of. Elphs are flat, this has a pancake lens sticking out of it. Come on ad guys, let's keep it honest.

I'm drooling all over this... but I'll wait for some reviews, see how it fares out against a standard DSLR...

It's an awesome concept.
Not only is the passage of time shown, but it further connects us by imposing the landscape of the home where all this is "unfolding" once in a while, kepping us connected on a couple of levels.

Both are well done.

Brilliant bits of filmmaking, both. Clearly the Olympus ad is highly derivative right from the opening shot, though to be fair after that they really just mimicked the technique without copying the film. It's an ethical lapse on par with, say, some of the stuff that Sony has done in the past, and Olympus should still have credited the technique more directly (assuming that the "japanese fellow" was the originator of that technique).

Sooooo...what, the guy left his wife and kid and never saw them again after about age 30? Jerk! He probably blew his kid's college fund on that fancy balloon and champagne ride.
