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

  • abgefahrenes Design, ausgezeichnete Verarbeitungsqualität, fantastische Fotoqualität, Wechselobjektive
  • langsamer Autofokus, kurze Akkulaufzeit, weder Blitz noch Sucher, mittelmäßiges Display
  • Die Olympus E-P1 besticht auf Anhieb durch ihr Retro-Design. Ebenso fantastisch wie die Kamera aussieht, gelingen auch ihre Fotos. Leider verfügt die Kompakte weder über Blitz noch Sucher und hat mit Performanceproblemen zu kämpfen....

  • Die Olympus Pen E-P1 ist in Silber eine edle und attraktive Kamera, die sich äusserlich und durch die Wechselobjektive von der Masse der Digitalkameras abhebt. Sie bietet einen zeitgemässen Funktionsumfang und verzichtet dabei auf übertrieben viele Gim...

  • Abstract:  PEN E-P1 har fått samma batteri som E-450, men på grund av att skärmen måste användas konstant räcker batteriet aldrig till fler än 300 exponeringar på en laddning. Budgetera därför med ett extra batteri direkt, för E-P1 är en kamera många lär få mycket glädje av..

  • Olympus E-P1 är inte en allroundkamera för alla. Utan en spontan och unik kamera för entusiaster som tycker att storleken har betydelse, för dem som säger «det blir inga bilder om inte kameran är med». För dem...
