E-PL1 is the value leader of the three. Same sensor, same processor, and a 
pretty useful flash that can fire the remote flashes and use iTTL in the 
process. A little more polycarbonate in the body, but it doesn't feel plasticy. 
I enjoy mine a lot, with the adaptor that takes the full-size 4/3 lenses. The 
one thing I don't like is that the eye-level EVF is too expensive. One of 
Panasonic's lenses is a winner, the Leica-formulated 20mm f1.7 in Micro 4/3.

Friend looking at the Olympus E-PL1 and asked about it.  Staples has a
package with backpack, 2nd battery, some software for $550. Went to the
Olympus site and see about it and there are 3 version of the P series.
Differences are not obvious on their site, anyone here know???
