My prize camera has arrived

A few posts back, I described my prize pack from Olympus. A brand new Olympus E-PL1. And today, I received this in the mail:
Isn't it beautiful? Like Christmas morning. Like that feeling you get when you find a $20 bill on the ground. Or like -- a prize you won because your daughter wanted to know how the touch-screen contest worked. I took a good long time opening the parcel. I set it in the kitchen, then wandered to look after the kids, make some calls, catch up on the day's events. All the while, I kept passing the parcel, my anticipation growing to an unbearable pique until I decided ENOUGH. I had to open it.

As I unpacked it, a thought flickered through my head. The E-PL1 was last years's model. It was indeed the prize I was granted. But I knew that the E-PL2 was Olympus' newest. Would they upgrade my prize? I didn't expect it...but who knows...

And as I was tugging the box out of the tightly-wrapped FedEx paper, it all came stuck half-way out. All I could read on the box was E-PL ... E-PL... Was it 1? Was it 2?
I yanked it free and stared down at an Olympus E-PL2. How awesome is that?
Now to find out what this thing can do...
