Electronic viewfinder. Image stabilisation for third-party lenses. Full manual control in movie mode. It's now black
Looks identical to E-P1 (except it's black). Specifications too similar to E-P1. Cannot use viewfinder and flash at the same time
Sharing a host of similarities to the E-P1, the E-P2 just doesn't have that wow-factor anymore. But if you can forgive it for this, you will find that it's a great Micro Four Thirds camera....
Excellent clarity, no noticeable chromatic aberration, excellent for macros, useful Art and scene modes, very good low-light performance
Electronic viewfinder has different colour temperature to LCD screen, no built-in flash, mode dial can be difficult to change
The addition of an electronic viewfinder makes the Olympus Pen E-P2 a marvellous camera for enthusiasts and professionals. It's small, has advanced controls and is capable of taking super-clear images...

No on-camera flash
