Olympus E-PM1 DSLR emphasizes value and performance

The headline is a little off the mark — the PEN line of cameras are not DSLRs, and the article never referred to them as such.
I understand that we've yet to reach a consensus on what to call these cameras that have DSLR-size sensors but don't have mirrors. But the mirror is what puts the R in DSLR.
Edit: Ha! Someone else noticed and corrected the headline while I was composing my complaint.

The Pen line are amazing little cameras but I recalling struggling with the menu system a lot. Features are randomly organized rather than logically by tab or nested menu. Luckily, once you enable the features the way you like them you won't need to visit the depths of their menu interface very often.

Unfortunately, the article heading itself still refers to the camera as a DSLR. This helps to spread a not-uncommon misconception, and makes the author look like they don't know what they're talking about. I acknowledge that the author doesn't use the term in the text, so the blame can probably rest with lazy sub-editing.
