I’ve been playing more with the Olympus E-P2 in the last few days and shot some test video with it today. This is not meant to be high quality video as I wanted to see how far I could push the camera rather then to set it up to succeed. This was all shot at night, hand held at what I suspect is ISO 1600 or so, it also has moving objects, lots of low light and hard to focus on subjects.
CENTER VALLEY, Pa., February 3, 2010 – The new Olympus PEN® E-PL1 is truly greater than the sum of its parts, with a surprisingly small camera body packed with technology normally found in bigger, bulkier and heavier professional Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) cameras and High-Definition (HD) camcorders. This third-generation PEN is built for shutterbugs who always wanted better pictures and considered a DSLR, but were intimidated by the bulky size and complex interface. The new camera’s simple design and easy interface enable consumers to easily create amazing images never dreamt possible. It will make you wonder how Olympus managed to put all of these powerful features inside such a compact camera for only $599.99. [click to continue…]
So I finally bit the bullet and purchased a new Olympus E-P2 camera with the 17mm f2.8 lens and so far so good. It’s really been a joy to work with and I’ve been playing a lot with it. I know you can jump online and see a review of the specs so I’ll only give you the short bit here before I jump into my first thoughts on the camera. [click to continue…]
The Olympus EP-2 has been a hot topic of late, a small rangefinder setup leads to a small camera but a big sensor leads to great image quality. Check out the full review for more all the goodies.
