The stylish retro black metal body of the new E-P2 may be reminiscent of a traditional rangefinder - but there s nothing traditional about this powerful new camera from Olympus. The E-P2 is a 12.3-megapixel interchangeable lens camera, and it blends the high-quality still images of a DSLR with High Definition (HD) video, stereo Linear PCM audio recording and in-camera creativity - all inside an ultra-portable, easy-to-use body. The E-P2 also brings a new twist to the PEN lineup: an accessory port which accommodates the included VF-2 electronic view finder or optional external microphone adapter (SEMA-1). Less

Pros Great DSLR-like image quality, small size.
Cons Simplified interface may appeal more to point-and-shoot upgraders than experienced users.
Recommended it? Yes

I've been waiting a while for a camera that is physically small and yet gives superior image quality.  The Nex-5 is that and more.
