Pros: Beautiful JPEG file, robust and reliable, lots of optics, stabilized, external EVF possibility

Cons: Slow, ultra-slow AF, ugly screen, lack of rings

Opinion: I had it in 2012. It was my first ML. File of only 12 mpx excellent, saturated colors and up to 800 iso very acceptable. It is built well, solid, but the screen is little visible in the sun and the keys from the rubbery feedback. It totally lacks dials and this means that you often need to interact with the keys. I recommend it to those who just need 12 but beautiful megapixels, they do not have to take action photos, they must carry a light and space-saving object, but solid and want to use the beautiful m4/3 lenses. I highly recommend buying the viewfinder, to ex. The excellent vf2. I forgot, its original 14-42, is ridiculous as a construction and very slow, but pulls beautiful images.

Pros: Solidity, stabilization

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: I state that I have been a Nikonist for decades and I also own many Canon bodies and lenses. I felt like a mirrorless and I found this camera used with the Nikon F lens adapter. The whole thing cost me 80 euros ...... A nonsense considering that I use (in manual focus) my Nikon lenses of the highest quality. As soon as you take the machine out of the box, the body immediately provides a feeling of robustness and reassuring solidity. I immediately mounted the adapter and my nikon 28-85. The only difficulty I found was the focus through the screen because it is difficult to find the right fire..... Some photos have been blurred but as an 'old' I made double or triple and the wrong ones I obviously threw them. For the rest the machine has everything, including the stabilizer that works very well. In the conditions in which I found myself (all manual) I had a lot of fun and I took some beautiful photos. It seems to photograph as it once was (I returned the kid of when I had Vitoret) when everything was in the hands of the photographer. Attention photos not of action and still subjects nothing else but for a landscape photo without haste is a lot of fun. Forget the Nikon and Canon 'guns'. I can't say how 'his' focus goes with proprietary optics but I've seen that the choice of optics is a bit scarce. Very easy and intuitive menu ....... It is used without instructions. It's a machine to try and you won't be disappointed if you buy it with the right spirit. It is located little in spite of today's mirrorless prices that are all the rage. Olympus on compact bodies has always been a benchmark. In the end I vote 8. Good Olympus pen to all and have fun..... Ah: it fits in your pocket like a mobile phone.... It's a sole

Pros: Light weight, built-in flash, stabilizer

Cons: Lack of viewfinder, menu confusing, poorly defined screen

Opinion: My first review, from beginners, to more of a body, anzianotto, I purchased used. The lack of viewfinder is not a big problem for me, I suffer a lot more to the menu than at the beginning it seemed like a puzzle with no solution. Bought for better results than those obtained with the compact smartphone or used until then, it took a bit 'of months to experience what were the limits of the car, only to discover every day that the main limitation at the bottom is me .rnCome said is light and goes for a walk with pleasure; It has a tiny flash that almost never use and a stabilizer on the camera body that allows otherwise unexpected results with the Zuiko 14-42 kits (also used to). The autofocus is very fast and at night or in poor lighting just can not do it, but for my needs can bastare.rnAnche with the ring M, you can not change all the parameters, but you have to accept some automation (ISO preset), by contrast in position iSCENE has nicefunctions that allow you to simulate different effetti.rnPer time is as little invested, I'm divertendo.rnGiuseppe
