Try this (no EP1 comparison)  -

>From  what I can gather the EP1 had a slower AF system than the EP2 so the 
ELP-1 may be faster than the EP1. The EP1 and 2 have manual dial controls 
where the ELP-1 has those controls in the menu system which is going to be 
harder to get too if you like manual control. I used the EP1 in Ireland and 
photographing U2, the manual dial control can in very handy for moving 
objects. I bet the ELP-1 may have better low noise at higher ISO, even 
though I was very pleased with 1600iso on the EP1.

Wow, way too many E's to keep track of.

Why not just PEN -1, PEN - 2 ?

Oh, and really I would get a D300s over the D90, just more improvements 
straight across the board.
