Digital Outback Photo is publishing their review diary of the Olympus E-P1 [Specs], the world’s smallest Interchangeable Lens System camera with 12.3MP resolution (on a 17.3 x 13.0 mm High Speed Live MOS Sensor), Sensor-shift Image Stabilization, Dust Reduction, an extra large 3.0-in.

Paparazzis may find their “job” getting a bit tougher soon. In what can be billed as the anti-Paparazzi device, a LED flash with a photo sensor simply detects a camera’s flash and fires back a burst that, for all purposes, ruin the photo.

New York University graduate student Adam Harvey is the genial inventor of this device that we believe will pretty much sell like hot cake.
