Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Olympus PEN E-P1 12.3 MP Micro Four Thirds Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera (Body Only)
Customer Review: Very handy and better than average
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this camera for its portability. The built-in stabilization is fantastic. I can shoot blur-free at 1/8 (I have a stable hand). Metering is average with highlight clipping almost all the time. Auto white balance is reliable (I find myself tinkering less on the color cast in PS Lightroom).
Noise is very four-thirds. Wish Olympus would do improve on the noise and finally quench the eternal question of four-thirds noise.
Movie mode is very good, albeit with some noise too.
Although minimum ISO is 100, the Auto ISO's lowest range is only at 200.
Selection of lenses is poor, or should I say negligible?
Build quality is superb.
4/3 to Micro 4/3 is expensive if you want to use main line Zuiko digital lenses.
