Any suggestion for a retro styled digital camera that looks like this?

but 90% cheaper?

IIRC smsung ones have retro styling, not to that extent though, and in black.

Small mind, but classic looking:

I have one of those Yashicas. Somewhere. It's quite small and easy to misplace. Hmm… probably in a coat pocket.

Find one of these ! Very good spec and quality build. + looks like an old 35mm Compact.

Panasonic do a similar camera to the Pen, The Lumix GL-1, which is a lovely camera, very similar to a Leica, but for around half the price. Can't tell you how much I want one, interchangable lenses, DSLR size sensor, but subtle enough to use at gigs without getting the security all sniffy.

Get the M9 with the 1:0.9 Noctilux 🙂 You'll never regret it 🙂

If it makes the PENs price tag any more palatable, I understand Olympus are giving away the matching flash which retails around £150 for those that register their PEN via t'interweb.
