Olympus E-P1 real-world review by Ken Tanaka ★ |
Ken Tanaka on Olympus E-P1:
I suggest that buyers of the E-P1 completely immerse themselves in the PEN’s retro spirit. Just assume that you’re buying a manual focus camera just like the original PEN cameras. Then be delighted when you discover that the camera offers AFA (Auto Focus Attempts)…Fortunately the E-P1 features the best manual-focus support I’ve encountered in a small digital camera. When using an Olympus digital lens in manual focus mode the rear display automatically switches to a 7x magnified view to assist critical focus
He foreclosed with the following comment that I happen to agree:
The camera world is badly in need of new ideas even if they’re not entirely new. Taking advantage of the PEN’s 50th anniversary was an inspiration that has injected welcome excitement into the camera marketplace
