Do you recall the story of my uncle's war camera - the little Olympus Pen half frame? Well, looks like they've reinvented it (read here) digitally using the new micro 4/3 sensor technology and it got me thinking.Since you know by now I believe deeply that the best camera is the one that's with you.

Set free that idea you've been holding onto. Write a blog post about it. Ask your friends what they think. Tell the world.3. Learn about video. Don't have a camera?

I tweeted this earlier today, but just couldn't resist posting it here on the blog as well.
