Product Description

The stylish retro black metal body of the PEN E-P2 may be reminiscent of a traditional rangefinder, but there's nothing traditional about this powerful camera from Olympus. The 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 twist to the PEN lineup: an accessory port which accommodates the optional VF-2 electronic view finder or optional external microphone adapter (SEMA-1).

5.0 out of 5 stars Screaming Deal January 17, 2012
An E-P2 body, brand new with full factory warranty, for under $300? It's a no-brainer, esp. for those who already have a slew of m4/3s lenses and need a spare body. Took about a week to get it from Cameta, which also had free shipping.

Oh yeah and this robustly-built camera takes outstanding pictures, esp. when paired with a fast prime lens like the Panasonic 20mm F1.7 or M.Zuiko 14mm F2.5. As long as you don't need a built-in flash, because like the E-P1 the E-P2 does not have one. I could not justify paying $400-500 more for an E-P3 with built in flash and slightly faster autofocus, at least yet, so this one fits the bill nicely.

Very highly recommended!!!

(Update 2/16/12: have used a slew of old OM lenses (w/$23 Fotodix OM-u4/3 adapter) on this fine little camera, and the results are nothing short of amazing-- especially the medium range teles like 135 F2.8 and 100 F2. Picked up a near mint 200 F4 at a camera store for under $100, and it's resolving power is truly spectacular.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Loving it February 4, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
I use this camera with the Panasonic Lumix G 20mm f1.7, and the pair is quite handsome for the price range. I'm an amateur photographer who upgraded from a point and shoot. I was going to go with an entry level DSLR but this fills the bill. RAW image quality right off the bat is awesome. And with a little bit of Photoshopping I'm getting beautiful photos. Pics can be quite grainy at ISO 1600 and above.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent camera at a bargain price March 10, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
I don't think you can beat the value here--the excellent E-P2 camera body for less than $300. It's worth grabbing one (or more) while they're available. Personally, I've been using the E-P1 since just after the introduction and I jumped on the E-P2 at this price. The only real functional difference between the two cameras is the ability of the E-P2 to use the Olympus electronic viewfinder. I also bought one of those.

The E-P2 shares the same ponderous menus as the E-P1. That's unfortunate but in reality you only have to wade through them until you have the camera set to your preferences. After that, all the vital options are available on the quick menu. The buttons and dials are a bit fiddly. The control wheel/button combination on the lower right is too easy to turn/press without meaning to--you can turn it off. The top right wheel is not in my favorite shape or placement but it's usable. Buttons are close together. The wrong one is easy to press when you have large thumbs. Those are my nitpicks on both the E-P1 and E-P2.

But both cameras have lots of good points as well. Since the E-P1 has been around for a while, I won't dwell on the features the two cameras share. You can find reviews of the E-P1 here at Amazon and more technical reviews online. The biggest difference is the electronic viewfinder availability for the E-P2. The EVF gives a good, big and bright view of the subject matter. It also allows the user to fill it up with all manner of shooting information. You can put so much stuff in the viewfinder it can interfere with seeing the subject. I prefer a clean viewfinder and this can be problematic. In order to remove all the information from the viewfinder, you also have to remove it from the rear LCD (which cannot be activated at the same time as the viewfinder anyway). That means you aren't able to tell at a glance what the camera settings are. It's better to just accept some information overlay and try to ignore it as you shoot or do a lot of button pushing while you eye is on the finder. Since I prefer eye level shooting to LCD viewing, I'm willing to accept the EVF's shortcomings. Fact is, most of the time I prefer using prime lenses with their appropriate accessory optical viewfinders with both the E-P1 and E-P2. When using long lenses or zooms or adapted manual focus lenses, the EVF is pretty much a necessity.

I really like the E-P2 and the entire E-Pen concept. Picking up a second body at a bargain was a great surprise.
