The editors didn't like

  • No flash - dedicated flash is expensive (£159 in the UK
  • $99 in the US) Lens noise on videos when AF or Manual Focus is used. Menu system(s) can get confusing without reference to the manual The lowest you can set Auto ISO to is ISO200 - does this ne...
  • Screen resolution
  • No viewfinder / optional viewfinder imprecise
  • Illogical menus
  • Ineffective stabilization
  • Insufficient battery life
  • Awkward controls
  • More lenses needed
  • Lens build is a bit plasticky and cheap
  • Pricey for anyone looking to invest in a whole new system as the same outlay would buy a starter DSLR and a couple of lenses
  • No built in optical viewfinder or flash – but both available if paying more
  • Pricy
  • Even if it is worth it
  • Autofocus takes a while to work
  • Some muddled menu options
  • No viewfinder. Expensive. Slow
  • No optical viewfinder or flash provided
  • Plus the same outlay would buy an entry level DSLR and a couple of lenses – albeit one without HD video
  • Expensive
  • Image quality not up there with real DSLRs
  • No flash or optical viewfinder
  • There's no built-in flash and what about an optical viewfinder
  • Eh Olympus? You have to rely on the LED display
  • Which isn't bad by any stretch
  • But it can be tricky in bright conditions. The only other gripe is the price. £700 for an "inbetw...
  • Sluggish autofocus
  • Short battery life
  • Low-resolution LCD
  • Lacks on-camera flash and viewfinder

  Published: 2009-10-16, review by: Akam.no

  • Abstract:  E-P1 er den første Micro FourThirds-modellen fra Olympus og det tok nesten et år fra systemet ble lansert sommeren 2008 til Olympus hadde et kamera i butikkene. Panasonic var kjappere ute og kom med G1 høsten 2008, men selv om vi va...

  • På mange måter er Olympus PEN E-P1 ett av det morsomste kameraene vi har testet på lenge. Sjelden har et kamera fått mer oppmerksomhet av folk som har vært på besøk eller som man har møtt på på knipsetur...

  • Olympus PEN E-P1 har fått samme batteri som E-450, men med konstant skjermbruk gir batteriet aldri mer enn 300 eksponeringer per lading. Legg derfor et ekstrabatteri inn i budsjettet med en gang, for E-P1 er et kamera mange vil finne mye glede i. Bil...

  • Flot retrodesign, udskifteligt objektiv.
  • Fysisk lidt stort. Ingen indbygget blitz.
  • Pen kameraet er ikke perfekt, men unikt og trendsættende. Det er attraktivt og har nærmest kultstatus, selvom det er masseproduktion. Kort sagt en T3 Guld værd! ...

  Published: 2009-10-12, review by: komputer.dk

  • Abstract:  Det ligner et kamera fra 1950’erne eller 60’erne. Det er lidt stort og lidt tungt, og du skal selv dreje på objektivet for at zoome. Men der er tale om et helt nyt digitalt kamera med nyeste teknologi. Forklaringen er, at Olympus Pen E-P1 er baseret p...
