Olympus PEN E-P1 12.3 MP Micro Four Thirds Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera user reviews

    "This camera is great. It is small enough for you to carry around, but also has the versatility of having a interchangeable lens. I wouldn't see using this if I were a pro, but it is a great prosumer camera. "

    "great picture taker, the images are stunning and its so easy to live with. the image quality is on par with nearly every DSLR out there minus some full format stuff. i do miss having a flash though, which will be remedied soon enough. "

    "I will mention any of its tech specs, and my "review" if it may be called that name is purely emotional. It is small, it is fancy, it is so nice you will be willing to give it a kiss. It has nice rigid and solid feel. It has everything I need need and nothing I don't. It feel like a treat, like a candy.
The satisfaction of using it, I mean the personal feelings are the same that made me a photographer some 35 years ago. The image quality is just above any concerns.

I have been using cameras form Canon, Pentax, Minolta, Sony, Nikon, Sigma (and so on), and while there are some great babies around (like ALPHA 900 + Zeiss optics), there's nothing else with that tremendous feel and touch that you can put into your jacket pocket. Man, I'm in love! "

    "I have used my Pen for several weeks now , and the Body is a delight to behold ! However , Olympus failed to fully display the 14-42 Lens fully extended , and the result is a bananna type extended lens , that detracts from the Pen , and its beauty ! I have ordered the 17mm lens , and await its arrival ! I have used the 28mm pancake lens with MF attachment , and my 9-14mm , also , so I can really say the Pen is everything it is advertised ! Great flexible programs , and wonderful pictures , both in P and other modes ! I believe the Pen is in a Class of its own , and can not be really compared with similiar Types of Cameras ! I have the OVF , and it also is quite nice ! "

    "I own a couple of high end DSLR's (Canon) with L glass but have always preferred to travel with small, light gear. I have Panny , 2 Richos, plus Fuji. And as much as I have liked aspects of these cameras, bottom line is I've always been disappointed with the final output as compared to the DSLR's. Bought the EP-1 on a whim just before a vacation - I had thought of waiting to see what Panasonic would bring out since I was concerned about the lack of viewfinder and the universally acknowledged slow focus. I couldn't be happier. The focus is not any slower than my other compacts. Yes, I would prefer a viewfinder. But everything else about this camera is fantastic. I was very pleasantly surprised about the the kit zoom - it's really quite good. This camera is just plain fun to use. IQ is really great - better than anything small out there. It's not tiny but for me it handles better than the pocket cameras. I am now an Oly convert! I just ordered an adaptor to use all sorts of lenses I accumulated during my film days. And they are going to be image stabilized! "
