...I just never got out of mine. Unfortunately for me though, my cameras went out before I was done with them (outdated or what happened to the last two: the first was dropped - broken LCD screen - and the second, along with the first, was stolen when my apartment was burgled in February). In any case, I would really love a new camera, and the Olympus Pen is looking mighty attractive (except its price tag! $800?? Yikes!).
Of course I found it in a Japanese magazine, and of course their advertising and promotion of the camera is a hundred years beyond the American style. Advertising in the US still revolves around streamline blahhhhh-ness, especially when it comes to digital devices. Everything is sharp and shiny and designed by guys who wear Oakleys like it's still 1999. Anyways, it sounds like a phenomenal camera for what it is and it has the style to make it worthy of anyone who likes taking photos but not lugging around a giant SLR all the time.
-XO
PS! - Check out one of the aspect ratios of the photos it takes! Almost perfectly square like a polaroid (which has been my favorite photo-shape since first seeing Diane Arbus's photography in my first year at college). Neato!
