Olympus E-P2 Camera Review

Date Added : July 27, 2010 | Views : 411

The E-P2 is a 12.3 megapixel interchangeable lens camera, and mixes the high-quality still images from a digital SLR camera High Definition (HD), stereo audio recording and the linear PCM creativity of the camera - all in an ultra-portable, easy-to-body use. The E-P2 also brings a new twist to the line-PEN: a port accessory that adapts to the VF-2 adapter included electronic viewfinder or external microphone (EMS-1).



Like the portrait of the environment, shooting on the street is a sub-genre of documentary photography, and refers mainly to people in candid situations that evoke natural and some aspects of the human condition. Street photography also focuses on people move through metropolitan environments and complex societies in which they operate. Famous documentary photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Doisneau use 35mm compact cameras to capture many of the moments that define archetypal 20th century European and American society, history and culture.



Rangefinders are small and unobtrusive cameras, however, are very sensitive in the hands of an expert marksman, able to generate images that are as good as those produced by the cameras visible larger, more bulky and more. The gold standard for "street" camera has always been the Leica rangefinder (usually equipped with a normal or moderate wide angle).



The new Olympus E-P2 looks (and handles) much like the classic Leica IIIFs and M4S ingenious folding and 14-42mm Zuiko zoom kit, in a retro eerily similar to the Leitz optical folding of some of these classic cameras of yesteryear. Olympus also offers a lens of f/2.8 17mm main, and two new targets - a 9-14mm and 14-150mm zoom zoom in the works. Both should be available in late spring or early summer of 2010.



The inelegant E-P2 is an integrated service of the reincarnation of the F "Olympus Pen" series of film cameras and looks (and acts) much like the classic tools of the time image rangefinder. The E-P2 3.0 inch (230k) HyperCrystal II LCD is great, Sharp, accurate color, smooth, and has a viewing angle of 176 degrees - which is almost perfect for framing and composition surreptitiously images.



Olympus includes a new clip-on viewer mail, VF2, which gives a 100 per cent with 1.15x magnification. Olympus also offers a clip-on, with no optical viewfinder (the VF1) similar to those in the old rangefinder cameras. The E-Q2 has a maximum sensitivity of ISO 6400 (good for available light shooting indoors in low light), changing the image sensor stabilization and manual control over aperture and shutter speed. Unlike the old days photographers, street shooters today have the option to record HD movies (AVI format - 1280x720 pixels at 30 fps) - and adjust color saturation, contrast, white balance and sensitivity in the camera.
