The editors liked

  • 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.
  • Image quality
  • New EVF
  • Handling
  • Super Control Panel
  • Creative feature set
  • IAuto mode
  • Dust reduction system
  • Styling
  • Build
  • Art filters
  • Lens
  • EVF.
  • Compact
  • 12megapixel camera with interchangeable lenses. Giant LCD screen. Great lowlight performance
  • Professional features including full manual control and RAW mode. That design is hot
  • Son. Hot!
  • Striking design
  • Excellent build quality
  • Very good photo quality
  • Compact body with DSLR-sized sensor
  • Built-in stabilisation which works with any lens
  • Accessory port and superb EVF supplied
  • HD movie mode and HDMI port.
  • Retrostyling
  • 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
  • Sluggish autofocus
  • Short battery life
  • Low-resolution LCD
  • Lacks on-camera flash
  • Leisurely AF system and so-so face detection
  • No built-in flash and average resolution screen
  • Superb EVF adds considerably to cost
  • Newer E-PL1 a compelling alternative.
  • Autofocus system not as good as competitors
  • No popup flash

  • Abstract:  En specialitet med Pen är att den har utbytbara ­objektiv trots att det inte är frågan om en spegelreflexkamera. Det enda som fattades på den första Pen­kameran var en riktig ­sökare. Precis som i de flesta enkla digitalkameror var man tvungen att anvä...

  • Abstract:  Fast kompromiss är kanske inte rätt ord. Bildkvaliteten är fullt i klass med en spegelreflex i samma prisklass, även om hybridkameror som Olympus PEN och Panasonics G-modeller är mycket mindre och lättare än spegelreflexer. Kompromissen utgörs av bri...

  • Denna kamera har prestanda som en systemkamera i ett lika nätt format som hos en kompaktkamera. En lyckad kombination anser testarna....

  • Abstract:  När Olympus Pen E-P1 presenterades i somras kom en del synpunkter på att kameran varken hade genomsiktssökare eller en elektronisk sökare. Det enda som fanns var en bildskärm på baksidan, precis som på en kompaktkamera. Olympus mötte kritiken med att j...

  • Lett, lite og kompakt systemkamera med høy bildekvalitet.
  • Treg fokus i dårlig lys; forholdsvis høy pris.
  • Olympus PEN E-P2 er «verdens beste kamera», når vi tar utgangspunkt i påstanden om at «det beste kameraet i verden er det du har med deg akkurat når du trenger det». E-P2 kan man med seg så å si overalt og i alle slags situasjoner, og man kan nesten a...

  • Olympus har disket opp med en fantastisk søker på PEN E-P2, som er så god at det er vanskelig å finne argumenter for at kameraet skulle hatt en optisk søker i stedet. Kameraet har dessverre samme batteri som E-P1, med knappe 300 eksponeringer per lading. ...

  • Abstract:  Olympus introducerede for snart et par år siden det spejlløse Pen-kamera, hvis design bygger på et gammelt analogt kamera af samme navn. Ikke kun var/er designet unikt og lækkert, kameraet tilbyder også mulighed for at udskifte objektivet - uden at være s...

  • Høj billedkvalitet, moderne design og filmer dertil i bedre kvalitet end Olympus. LCD-skærmen er helt klar og uden slør. Der stilles skarpt med høj sikkerhed, og så fås det i flere lækre farver. Indbygget blitz
  • Mangler det lækre, analoge design, som Olympus har. Pris er lidt for høj
  • Trods værdig konkurrence fra Panasonic, så betyder det stilsikre design i kombination med den høje kvalitet fra inderst til yderst, at Olympus stadig er mesteren. Prisen for E-P2 er dog ret heftig i forhold til forgænderen E-P1. ...
