Alternative cameras

I'm getting addicted to the daily phone camera photo uploaded to Facebook and Twitter. Here is today's-a fern from our garden.
It was given to us by our daughter and was touch and go if it would survive after the snow earlier in the year. It's doing very nicely now and I'm surprised at how well the textures show up on a dull day with such a basic camera.
Alternative camera number two was reeled out today by Olympus Cameras. Thanks to Eleven Eight for this photo of it with an 8mm lens. The EP1 looks like an interesting little camera. A compact with a 12.3 mp resolution and interchangeable lenses.
At £700 'ish with the kit 14-42 lens it's not exactly a steal but if it produces photos as good as the specifications suggests it might be a useful alternative to a DSLR or even, (dare I say it), a poor man's Leica M8. I think I'll wait until the price comes down a bit-and wait for one in black.
