E-LP1 has a composite body and lens mount and can use the  electronic
viewfinder.  The E-P1 is all metal, and a few more bells and whistles,
though the AF on the E-LP1 is supposed to be a bit better.

With markdowns, both cameras are about the same price right now.  The E-P1
often is found bundled with a half case.

That's the one I have, Wish I had gotten the EP-2, but I saved about $300
bucks in the bundle, so.... for a beater camera that does such nice things,
I'm not sad.
