Gorgeous looks
That the Olympus E-P1 is something different becomes apparent as soon as you take it out the box
Its sexy retro styling a throw-back to the 70s. The Micro Four Thirds sensor on the inside means that the E-P1 essentially has the same basic features as a f...

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...
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...
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! ...
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...
Abstract: Olympus PEN (E-P1) to czwarty z kolei, po dwóch modelach Panasonika – LUMIX DMC-G1 i LUMIX DMC-GH1 – oraz Samsungu NX , aparat kompaktowy z wymienną optyką. O ile jednak model Samsunga wykorzystuje matrycę formatu APS-C, o tyle Panasoniki oraz najnowszy O...
