Oops, so I haven't talked about the camera I eventually bought and I've just realised that! You think I bought the Canon S90 like I said before? Then you are wrong. I didn't. Which one did I get? Well, this one, the Olympus PEN E-PL1 Micro Four Third camera!!
How good is this camera? Let's see what Kai has to say.

| My very own Olympus |
Words and expressions you should be able to hear from the video:
- Guinness World Record
- highest population density
- it's like sardine in a tin (simile)
- art filters
- stealthy
- grannies
- succession of shoots
- a tad slow
- like a beautiful who likes picking her nose
- compact dimension
- pop-up flash
- street photography
- paedophile
- terrorist
- shuttle sound is next to silent
- DSLR
- handy HD movie mode
- magnifying
Test yourself to see how many words these words you can hear! Shouldn't be that difficult.
I got it in Broadway store for less than $5000 and I love it! Everything is good about this camera, especially the image quality, it is definitely something I have been long waited for. But the only problem it has is I can't use auto mode in dark dark night, and maybe I haven't memorised the whole instruction booklet, but I can't even force flash when I can't focus, which means I can only use flash when I can focus, but the problem is, I can't focus because it was too dark! And this happened on the Halloween Bash night. Looks like I have to read the instructions again.
Other than that, it was great, at a great price!
