Pros: Small, light; Equipped with a Micro Four Thirds sensor, therefore very different from that of a compact, even evolved, of similar dimensions; The same battery as the successive pens and, for one, of the Om-D e-M10 II, resulting in overall economies; On the market of the used costs very little (for me it is a Pro too); The "Shockproof" shot combined with the stabilizer can make it also possible to use rather long shutter speeds that the size and lightness of the machine would otherwise be impracticable

Cons: The size of the camera and the keys can create some problems to the larger hands and the sensor produces a stop noise before the one adopted by the successive models.

Opinion: The e-PM1 is very small and light as a Compattina, but equipped with a "true" sensor, the ability to shoot in Jpeg and raw, to develop in camera the raw and to do a little ' everything you can do with the older sisters. Coupled with a small, light and versatile lens such as the Olympus 14-42 EZ or the Panasonic 12-32 it becomes a kind of "phantom weapon", ready to be pulled out of the pocket and to produce high quality images. After having already had it I bought it just to achieve this union between portability and quality. The dimensions have forced Olympus to some somersaults in the distribution of keys and functions, including menus, but after a while it falls into the custom of use Olympus. The 12 MPX sensor of the first series of pens is certainly less elastic than the next 16 mpx, but if used carefully-and not demanding what it can not do-can give better results than they believe the size of the machine. Much much better than a compact, indeed: a real machine

Pros: Although it is small, basically a compact (if you except the speech lens that protrudes forward) once picked it up and used, gives the sensation of having a small jewel in his hands: the shutter snaps when you feel, in terms of vibration, and this alone made immediately makes it clear to those who use it that is not one of the many compact camera .... but a real camera! rnBellissimi effects that can get with various "filters: the white black and, in particular, is really worthy of note ... also a colleague of mine, who just clicks with the film, has been impressed by the remarkable fidelity with which the machine "mimics" the shot in B / N

Cons: If the B / N is very quaint and true to what you could do with a film, here, the color, that the photos "normal", in my opinion leaves much to be desired .... not talking about ISO, contrast, sharpness, etc .. etc .., but just the overall end result that, with the optical 14-42 kit, is, in my view, very disappointing! In all honesty: the final result is far below that which can give, for example, my old D40 with its measly 6 mpx outclasses the Pen in almost all conditions, except perhaps that in low light above 1000 iso ....

Opinion: In short, in terms of quality it is not, and in my opinion will never be, a replacement (light) of a SLR camera of any brand and in any year it can be! We say that is quite a compact evolved, with large sensor and a particularly pleasant use .... rnOttimi the effects of various filters "art" selectable, practically I use ONLY when I want to take pictures with those special effects .... and in ordinary situations or take away the cameras, the quality, the Canon Ixus or compact camera, for tascabilità (which does not have the Pen, given the optics "disproportionate" and proportionate to the small camera body.
