Bottom Line
First Look
The attractive Olympus Pen EP2 serves up unique incamera controls
Interchangeable lenses
And a compact design
But it costs significantly more than an entrylevel DSLR.
Excellent resolution with lots of detail in the shots
Appealing
Bright and punchy out of camera results and well optimized JPEGs
Improved AF performance (though kit lens holds it back)
Pretty retro design puts SLR quality into a compact body
Collapsible kit lens is small and offers decent quality
Superb optional viewfinder aids stable holding and shooting in bright light
Good high ISO perf
Small
Inspiring design
Mirrorless design allows smaller optics
Smaller body
Very compact lens designs
Compatibility with a wide range of existing lens designs using adapters
Albeit with limitations
Good heft
But reasonably light at only one pou...
D-SLR-quality images. Sharp images from ISO 100-800 at all f-stops. Low noise from ISO 100-1600. Attractive design. 720p30 HD video capture. Mini HDMI port.

Compact
12megapixel camera with interchangeable lenses. Giant LCD screen. Great lowlight performance

Son. Hot!
Striking design

Compact body with DSLR-sized sensor
Built-in stabilisation which works with any lens
Accessory port and superb EVF supplied

Incamera image stabilisation
Lownoise image quality
The editors didn't like
Some highlight clipping (and poor dynamic range at ISO 100)
Low resolution screen that's hard to see in bright light
I-Enhance picture mode can't be disengaged when using iAuto
No built-in flash (and the optional flash is expensive and pretty basic)
Complicated menu system not that easy to navigate
Preview image brightness doesn't always match the captured image brightness
No quick way to s
Relatively limited Micro Four Thirds lens selection from Olympus (as of April
2010)
Short battery life (especially compared to an SLR)
No built-in flash
New accessory port devices hijack flash hot shoe
And don't daisy-chain -- so accessories can't...
Slow autofocus. No built-in flash. Electronic viewfinder is no match for an optical viewfinder. Camera picks up lens motor noise when shooting video.
No custom mode setting
No (built-in) viewfinder
EVF needs hot shoe
Price
Screen in brighter conditions.
A good deal more expensive than the nearly identical EP1. Costs about the same as a fullsized DSLR. LCD viewfinder is lowerresolution than the main LCD and is annoyingly laggy. Viewfinder also hogs flash hotshoe
Abstract: No more wild speculation, or waiting for the actual confirmation. Olympus has just unveiled its second Micro Four Thirds camera, aptly dubbed as the Olympus PEN E-P2. Of course, with an update to its Micro Four Thirds lineup, we'll also be expecting so...
Es una cámara de 12 megapixeles ergonómica y portátil. Tiene una salida HDMI para poder conectarla a un televisor de alta definición
Tarda en enfocar cuando hay poca luz en la escena. No cuenta con flash integrado; hay que comprar accesorios aparte para poder explotarla al máximo
Recomendada para aficionados que tengan conocimientos sobre fotografía y quieran un equipo con diseño retro para usarla como segunda opción. Su precio hace que no cualquier usuario pueda comprarla, sin embargo, es una cámara versátil....
Abstract: Cuando se lanzó la Olympus P1, el público admiró el atrevido paso dado por Olympus. La cámara PEN era y es en muchos aspectos una cámara única, aunque Panasonic ha lanzado ahora una cámara similar. El diseño de la cámara Olympus PEN P2 es casi idéntic...
Le viseur électronique de qualité, Le capteur stabilisé, Les améliorations en vidéo HD
L'absence d'améliorations techniques, notamment en ce qui concerne le bruit numérique ou la mise au point, lente sur le Pen EP-1, L'écran de 230 000 pixels seulement, Le prix élevé
Qualité du viseur amovible, Construction irréprochable et style rétro, Compacité, notamment avec le 17 mm, Ergonomie générale
Écran toujours aussi peu défini, Viseur occupant la griffe flash, Complexité des menus, Autonomie insuffisante
Mise à jour de détails du E-P1, le E-P2 ne corrige quasiment aucun de ses défauts — en particulier, l'écran reste déplorable pour un appareil de cette gamme. Reste un viseur absolument splendide et, pour l'heure, unique....
Au premier abord, l'Olympus Pen E-P2 est un appareil très séduisant, son look rétro et sa belle construction feront certainement "craquer" quelques photographes qui souhaitent retrouver le contact d'un appareil d'antan. Olympus est un acteur de longue...
sehr gute Bildqualität, Accessory Port, schnelle Reaktionszeit, hochwertiges Gehäuse
kein Blitzlicht, langsamer Autofokus, mäßiger LCDBildschirm, Bildrauschen ab ISO 800, Akku schnell leer, teuer
Die Olympus Pen E-P2 ist mit ihrem modularen Konzept ganz klar eine Systemkamera für Profis, die viel Wert auf Flexibilität legen. Da sogar ein Blitzlicht fehlt, können Sie sich ihre Olympus Pen E-P2 ganz individuell zusammenstellen. Allerdings ist di...
