Pros: I do not know why but for the HDR still prefer to APSC sensor ... rndensità which allows for low iso ... razor-sharp pictures even if the previous series it seemed to piùrnse used with the right optics, or 2.5 1.8 produces pictures scary day because of the density sensor ..

Cons: compared to the previous series I noticed a noise filter too aggressive ... enlarging a dark frame I noticed that instead of dead pixels o bianchi hot noise filter put a black spot like a patch ... rnse do not use optical msc previous provide no advantage in terms of speed af rnrumore already at 200 iso evident if one is accustomed to APSC sensor rnrispetto to EPL1 owned previously did not have a socket sicura..rnil metal case provoked changes in temperature so high as to cause the continuous misting sensor ... we had gone in paranoia..persino when I took the parcel steamed up ... thing with the other three previous non accadeva..rngamma dynamic ridiculous ... if not used on a tripod riprendevi evening very little compared to the other sensors sony or canon APSC time

Opinion: I've had 4 Olympus .... and then with the same sensor also panasonic g1 cousin ... I love a day at low iso ... for jpeg ready (less for g1) RNLA old EPL1 seemed to have + sharpness comparing shots with epl3 ... but the advantage of the three in terms of autofocus was pauroso..sopratutto under low luminositàrnla thing left in my mind of this model was the trend of winter to cool even in your pocket or pouch ... and just returned home with 9 degrees difference steamed up everywhere ... with previous models has never happened even after being under the nevernnon had the defect that long exposures created white pixels for the entire frame as the EPL1 old ... but I noticed that put as patches of color instead of these ... enlarging photos 1: 1 rnle still prefer to hDR and panoramic ....

Pros: Fast autofocus, color, pocket-sized, highly customizable, robust, useful digital teleconverter.

Cons: Labyrinthine menus, dynamic range, improved ergonomics.

Opinion: For me it is a little gem, it will not be up to the new models but I will still defend well. I got it after deciding to switch from a DSLR Canon aps-c m43 to the system, and I do not regret mene. The optics are small and with a high quality, even the kit lenses are far superior to those from Canon. And then the fact that we can keep in your pocket and not even notice the weight is unmatched. It has tons of options and customizations, which I thought unthinkable for this category, even if the price to pay is a labyrinthine menu that needs experience. Maybe even about the optical colors which produces and microcontrast are fantastic. Personally I do not miss the viewfinder, also thanks to the tilting screen. The major flaw in my opinion is the dynamic range, it is easy to get burned lights and shadows in urban scenarios. I want to mention also the usefulness in practice teleconverter that doubles the focal length of all lenses, without a substantial loss of quality.; For the price that I paid for it new, really ridiculous, it seems great. At the end I would say that the system has convinced me fully, I will take in the future with a new sensor, but for now this is fine also.

Pros: Pocket camera that goes unnoticed and, therefore, very useful for all those occasions when you would have a camera with him. High quality of the shots, nice colors and excellent stabilization.

Cons: Some uncertainty autofocus, from entry level SLR. viewfinder, at least VF3, improved

Opinion: It 'a small camera to keep with you at all, and this is the purpose. I took pictures that I never did it because I never brought back, walking, the pounds of an SLR. And then goes unnoticed, it does not attract attention and do not alarm any subjects. The quality for photos taken on the fly, to the street is, inthis case, considerable Olympus and colors, as usual, even in jpeg are very pleasant, but not saturated "fake". The stabilization system seems to levels of a good reflex. Obviously not fast when you must unravel in the menu, having no dedicated keys, apart from the wheel PASM. Sometimes you lose time and some pictures in the search option and right there is the problem of displaying on display in broad daylight. It's better with the electronic viewfinder: my, VF3, has a great quality but allows much more accurate shots.

Pros: efficiency and speed of the autofocus (chases the faces and do not spring). rnqualità image due to the 4/3 sensor, can use with manual focus lenses of various analog marche.rnqualità more than decent up to ISO 1600, excellent stabilization in sensore.rndisplay tilting quite visible in some conditions critiche.rnmini Flash plug-in included with n. guide 10, current price (380 euro) rn

Cons: light, but a little 'uncomfortable to wear with the standard zoom, long, but not very standard riducibile.rnottiche luminose.rnci are 3 programmable buttons, but when you're in a hurry is uncomfortable rummaging in menù.rnla quality is often comparable to the SLR entry level, but feels the lack of a viewfinder rn (optional = 200 e.). rnsfuocato quite poor with standard optics.

Opinion: Great deal for the price I paid = 380 € (kit with 14-42 + 40-150) [x2 = focal FF] rnih a bag of about 18x15 cm is in it all the kit from 28 mm to 300 mm in two ottiche.rnLa image quality in general is good, the raw are well treatable with PS6, will lead to results comparable to rncasa SLR 400 to € 6-700; obiettivirnda body and the realization of an idea of ??care and material well- higher than the range relex suindicata.rnL 'only difference you notice is the lack of viewfinder (sold the 200 euro), rne the quality of out of focus with the objectives of the kit is Scarsini (they are too faint) RNLA gear more 'than this gaming micro 4/3 is the ability to use in semi-manual, cioèrnfuoco manual and auto exposure, any lens mounting them with analog adapters varirnanelli (from 10 to 40 euro) for the various brands. The results are notevoli.rnPer those who want to invest then there is pretty pennies to choose between objectives olympus, panasonic and sonyrn + tamron and sigma made apmail for the micro 4/3, from 150-200 euro up ....
