Olympus E-P1

Sharp images from ISO 100 through ISO 800. Low noise from ISO 100-1600. Beautiful aesthetics and design. HD video capture (720p30). HDMI port. 3-inch LCD.

Noticeable shutter lag. Slow autofocus. Lens is noisy when focusing, which is recorded when capturing video. Few Micro-Four-Thirds lenses available. No optical viewfinder or built-in flash.

Boot up and recycle times are also affected by the slow focusing. Without autofocus, the E-P1 can boot and snap in an average of 2.44 seconds, but with AF it averaged 3.28 seconds. Without AF, the camera averaged 1.03 seconds of recycle time between...

The design. Have you ever seen such a cool looking camera?. SDHC compatibility. HD video. Aperture priority and art filters in video mode. Excellent range of additional accessories.

The price of those additional accessories. Resistive control wheel. Loud autofocus on some lenses.

Though it's rather expensive, we can't help adoring the E-P1. The pictures it takes with the included lenses are mostly great, just don't expect compact-like features such as a viewfinder and flash to be included.

abgefahrenes Design ; ausgezeichnete Verarbeitungsqualität ; fantastische Fotoqualität ; Wechselobjektive

HD-Videofunktion ; ansprechendes, solides Design ; Wechseloptiken

kein Sucher ; reduzierte Videobildrate bei Verwendung von Art Filters

Die Micro-Four-Thirds-Olympus E-P1 klingt nach einem deutlich verlockenderen Angebot als ihre gut 1500 Euro teure Schwester Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1. Allerdings kämpft auch die Olympus mit einigen Macken. Wir sind auf das Serienmodell gespannt.

La Olympus E-P1 es sin duda un movimiento arriesgado. La E-P1 es una cámara especial en muchos aspectos. En primer lugar, su aspecto; retro y moderno al mismo tiempo. Para mí, su diseño es tan acertado con el retro-moderno del Volkswagen Beetle o el...

Small size, low price, nice dynamic range, low noise, easy to use

Small button dial easy to knock off of settings, can not use a EVF, art filters write slow to card, lcd screen hard to see in bright light

Small Size, Compact- Good Build Quality- Image Quality is excellent- In-Body image stablization

No View Finder, you have to by a seperate unit and then it's only good with the 17mm f/2.8 lens- No Built in Flash
