Packing huge photo quality
By Ek
Overall I really like this camera. Very nicely build and the photo quality is superb!
The Olympus E-P2 is a 12.3-megapixel interchangeable lens camera and it blends the high-quality still images of a DSLR with High Definition (HD) video, stereo Linear PCM audio recording and in-camera creativity - all inside an ultra-portable, easy-to-use body.
The E-P2 also brings a new twist to the PEN lineup an accessory port which accommodates the optional VF-2 electronic view finder or optional external microphone adapter (SEMA-1).
A wide-angle pancake lens with a convenient focal length (equivalent to 34mm on a 35mm camera) for shooting everything from landscapes and portraits to close-ups. A slim design with an overall length of just 22 mm ensures the camera remains compact and easy to carry even when the lens is mounted. With its digital-dedicated design and superior performance this lens maximizes the camera's performance for clear, high-quality imaging.
