I chose the kit 17mm 1.8 (focus ring back and forth like the 12mm Zuiko displaced manually or automatically to focus) incl. Viewfinder decided because I mainly work with fixed focal lengths, as these are brighter.
In addition, I became acquainted with the advantages of a viewfinder when testing some cameras in the consumer electronics market and know they really appreciate in low Lichbedingungen.
(Viewfinder is foldable and has a + \ -. Wheel for adjusting the Diopt and is superior to the OMD E-M5)
When I unpacked this precious piece I was blown away.
The (Retro) Design the pen impresses with its harmonious, clean lines.
It looks particularly high quality and feels like that.
The camera is quite heavy in hand but just because you realize that it is not a plastic case, but metal.
I like the silver-black housing is best, but which everyone must decide for themselves.
The grip is not as with the E-P3 interchangeable, since including in DRR e-p5 the Wifi module is. Who does not like simple black and who can look after Wood Edition (about 100 more expensive).
Before you shop around in the world of cameras, one should be aware of which system you choose.
I opted for MFT, because of the compactness. I wanted an Always-In-Kamsra that makes Excellent pictures ... And I finally found this.
My search began about 9 months ago. It began with the Nikon 1 to (autofocus TOP, Housing Quality TOP, pictures mediocre), went on to the Samsung NX2000 (autofocus very slowly, housing not wertig enough pictures mediocre menu great!) And ended for the time being at Sony Nex5r (menu used to, lens choice I like about MFT better / and partly. cheaper).
Somehow it was not the camera. Now has the long searching and trying out ABWR entirely worthwhile.
The images are very detailed and can be measured easily with a DSLR camera. Exactly what I wanted.
From the speed and accuracy (AF) to mention. Madness. After all, this creates Pen 9SHEETS / sec.
To take advantage of this, you should purchase a fast memory card of Class10.
PS: A flash is integrated in the camera and goes for simple needs. Who makes up his claims, should have recourse to Metz Blitzlichtgeröte.
I can write nothing about the movies, but I have read a lot of good things about it (book by Reinhard Wagner highly recommended). I'm curious!
The menu is extensive and requires a bit of practice and gleaning required in the Olympus manual (download from the Olympus homepage).
There is in any case an infinite number of settings and leave nothing to be desired.
One finds at the setting (above) PSAM modes, Scene (Portrait, Night, Panorama ...), art filters (Comic, Sephia, dramatic ...), scene, video.
At the command dials 1x front and 1x rear can be seen on Modi1 aperture and shutter speed, as well as on Modi2 ISO (low, 200, etc.) and white balance set (Tungsten, sun, cloudy ...) easily and quickly.
So wonderful complications I liked this camera.
In the package, so I would like to report, the objective contained in the kit with cover and bayonet fitting, the VF-4 Viewfinder is (as far as this kit is selected), a battery, a charger and plug, a USB cable, a Quick Start Guide, and a carrying strap.
- Possible> So far, so I would replace the Plastikriemchen against wertigere Metallriemchen. After some time, the plastic can become brittle and no longer withstand the proud weight of the pen. That would be a pity.
In addition, I recommend a replacement.
For the camera I have not bought the original Olympus Pen bag, PLEASE SIZE L) I was amazed how small size L may be.
With much skill Pack, but you get the camera, viewfinder, memory card, charger cable and charger, 17mm, 45mm and 75mm lens in this bag.
I recommend everyone the camera, the emphasis on design, superb picture quality and speed.
The camera is absolutely amazing.
