Wanted Viewfinder: Found a Sweet Deal

I was looking for a small camera with a viewfinder. My now aging Oly EP-1 is fine, but very hard to see LCD in bright light, and just can't get into the arm's length holding thing; too shaky for critical focussing. Saw demo EP-2 with VF-2 electronic finder with A BONUS, the Oly 17mm f2.8 lens included! A great deal. Now have a viewfinder, and more stability when composing photos closeup, or with 40-150mm zoom lens. Quality of image in VF-2 is much better for manual focus and image viewing in any light situation. I was instantly impressed by the VF-2. Now I feel my carry-around kit is more complete. Being well-seasoned age of 64, I don't want to lug my DSLR and heavy lenses around unless I need them for critical bird photography. Now, I just grab the small canvas bag, go lite, and still have the flexibility to make great photos as I see them! The only non-perfect things are can't use external flash with viewfinder in place, but I can accept that, and not the perfect small camera for bird photography, but again, with the VF-2 to help with focus and giving the user three-point stability of having the camera at eye level, it is adequate for a light grab and go camera kit. Sorry folks, I can't give the kit 5 stars, but I'd rate it 4.5 stars if I could select a half star!

Excellent travel camera

I bought the EP-2 for travel as a small replacement to my DSLR. The size is perfect for carrying around all day. Image quality is as good as my DSLR when shooting jpg with very low noise up to ISO 800. Autofocus is fast and accurate in good light; but a little slow in low light situations. Battery lasts for about 300 shots, a little shorter life than my DSLR and P&S cameras. I have used Pentax 110 and LTM legacy lenses on EP-2 with excellent results. Manual focus assist with EV-2 is a real plus. I would definitely buy the EP-2 again.

A Low-Light Warrior? For the Right User

I ordered this little guy as soon as Adorama had it listed, so I got mine Dec. 15 and have had a chance to play with it a bit. Most people who are "in the know" realize that a lot of the excitement behind the micro four-thirds cameras is because the mount can be adapted to almost any kind of 35mm lenses... that means people are putting Leica M-bayonet and screw-mount lenses, old M-42 screw mount lenses of all kinds, and old manual focus Nikon, Canon, Olympus, Pentax...many, many lenses can work on these. If, that is, you know a thing or two about what you're doing. Many people have whined that the EP-2 doesn't have much that's different from the cheaper EP-1. Nope...you can put those complaints to bed, because the differences between the cameras are very significant, especially for those who want to try old manual-focus lenses with it. First of all, it's black. That's just superficial, but it does match much better if you're going to happen to be using (and prefer) black lenses with it. Most important is its viewfinder. While it does take some getting used to (it looks a little odd sitting on the camera at first, but with the right lens looks great), it offers you superb resolution. Basically, pop on your lens adapter, mount your old lens, put the camera on center-weighted metering (I recommend) and aperture priority shooting, set the image stabilization to the focal length you're shooting, look through that viewfinder, and get shooting! I did a test of still indoor subjects (so yes, motion wasn't a factor) and shot a 135mm f/2.8 lens -- which works like a long 270mm f/2.8 with the smaller micro 4/3 sensor -- with razor-sharp results at 1/5 of a second. So basically, if available light photography is your game, there is very serious potential for this little camera to be your secret weapon. Get any fast, sharp 50mm from the 35mm film format and it will perform like a 100mm with the sensor crop factor, mount it on this little beast, and you are sporting an image-stabilized 100mm f/1.7, 1.4, etc. That just happens to be the "zone" I usually work in -- from 80mm to 135mm in many cases -- and the EP-2's viewfinder makes it a pleasure to use. It's very crisp and allows for precise focusing, if your manual focusing skills are up to snuff. In low light, I should note that the viewfinder will struggle to maintain brightness, but so will any regular prism you'll be looking through. I tested it in almost no-light situations to see if I could focus at all, and yep, I could. I managed to get very sharp, great color images doing exactly that. On that note, keep on top of the white balance. The auto white balance works well in some situations, but outdoors in shade I found the "shade" setting much more accurate and inside, it's often easiest to just go to "custom WB" and set the color temperature. Remember that the light colors people think of as "warm" -- orange tones and so on -- are actually "cold" in terms of indoor lighting temperatures, such as that incandescent lighting that gives you a very orange tone. So especially indoors, orange light = cooler temps around 3500-4000K, and warm light is actually bluish. Image quality looks very high so far. I haven't tested it to high-high ISOs like 3200, but you can move it incrementally in small steps, so just push it as far as you need to to get an adequate shutter speed for what you're shooting. In many cases, you won't have to go far...again, you've got the potential for using a very fast lens with in-body image stabilization that works quite well, and you can often shoot down to an eighth or even a fifth of a second hand-held. Practice your technique, and you might be amazed at what you can do with this... One drawback is that I'd thought this would be a typical electronic viewfinder camera, which doesn't have a real shutter in the traditional sense. With many of those, the shutter noise is simply a sound effect, which you can turn off and then be shooting very stealthily indeed. The EP-2 does have a real shutter, but I find the noise is pretty quiet and not obtrusive at all. The little thing definitely grows on you. Two bits of advice: get a second battery (battery life is good, but you'll burn through it with extensive shooting) and get either the Olympus or aftermarket bottom case. Much of the outer body is metal, but its bottom could be a weak point with the plastic battery/memory card cover and could use a little extra protection, in my opinion. The EVF attachment seems sturdy, but I'll have to figure out what kind of bag I want to throw this in and whether I'd take the EVF off for transport. It is much better to focus manual lenses with the EVF than the LCD screen, but the LCD screen responds quickly and is very useable in that respect (as owners of the EP-1 know, I'm sure). The external microphone could dramatically improve sound for video, and that expansion port on the EP-2 will allow for future expandability. What about flash? Well, I actually got this to focus mainly on available light photography, but flash is a consideration. Mounting a flash on the camera will force you to take off the EVF. Also, this camera is fairly small in that regard, so a big flash mounted on it will not balance well. I'm not sure about this yet, but I believe the camera can remotely trigger an Olympus FL-36R or FL-50R, I think in manual mode (not sure about remote TTL). So I might belt one of those onto my shoulder or something, remotely trigger and bounce a flash around, and just shoot the EP-2 otherwise as I have been. I'll try some different things to see what works best. How is the 17mm f/2.8 Olympus lens? How is the auto focus? Ask me again in awhile...I'll get to it sometime. I'm sure it's great, and it'll work well when I need a wider angle for general work. But in the meantime, I'm having too much fun popping a bunch of super-sharp old lenses on this thing and basking in the feel of quality manufacture from an earlier time. That may not be your shtick; I'm a bit of a nut and shoot 35mm film gear all the time. The bottom line is that this camera could be nothing that out of the ordinary...or, for the right user, it's a whole different ballgame. I'm sure having a great time.

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 included 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.
