[Leica] The rangefinder is back! - Olympus EP-1

[drodgers at casefarms.com (David Rodgers)]

It's a very nice looking little camera. But I have to ask, what does
this camera do that's any different, or better, than a handful of other
cameras that are already available, and probably less expensive? Looks
to me like just another P&S, though I could be missing something.
