Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Olympus PEN E-PL2 12.3 MP CMOS Micro Four Thirds Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera with 14-42mm Lens (Silver)
Customer Review: Excellent Compact Camera Systems and A Good Value
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera and the accompanied 14-42mm kit lens are a great compact package with DSLR level performance.
IMAGE QUALITY: excellent jpeg images; DSLR quality.
OPERATION SPEED: fast & quiet focus with kit lens (substantial improvement over E-PL1); quick shot to shot.
ART FILER MODE: very cool, I use this all the times; post processing is not instantaneous, but much much faster than previous PEN cameras.
IMAGE STABILIZATION: in body image stabilization works fairly well.
There's an advantage: it's great for using non IS lens such as the excellent Lumix 20mm f1.7; For longer focal lengths, it might be better to use Lumix G's IS zoom lenses.
BODY: well-built, nice looking, comfortable to hold and feels solid in hand.
BUTTONS: easy to operate and highly customizable.
LCD: good resolution for magnified playback.
MENU: straight forward, but lots of options.
VIDEO: good HD quality; playback nicely on PC and TV via HDMI cable.
FLASH: convenient and works well.
OTHERS: optional external electronic view finder VF-2 is excellent, but not necessary.
Optional underwater housing is not too expensive.
COMPARED to previous Olympus PEN cameras: E-PL2 is noticeably more responsive, especially in ART FILDER mode.
COMPARED to Panasonic LUMIX G cameras: the Lumixes are good but the Olympus has ART FILTER mode and in body Image Stabilization.
COMPARED to Sony NEX 5: image quality of the NEX 5 is great due to its bigger sensor and it has a fantastic hires flippable LCD. However, the NEX 5 lacks some standard features such as 1:1 square image format and a remote cable release.
