Customer Review

Only intended for the Asian region, came in August 2014, the e-PL6 as little Geschwisterlein the e-P5 to the European market - and was hardly noticed or somehow fell in anticipation of the approaching e-PL7 between the chairs of the expectant. In any case you will find a few reviews in Europe, and here at Amazon.com I'm only the second, which tells his impressions.

I bought the silver casing version to an amazingly low minimum price, to fit the silver Olympus 25mm / 1.8 lens. In the E-PL6 the OM-D also the proven sensor ELT E-M5. The body is made of metal, black rubber handle is and can be requested as dranschrauben what is recommended for better feel. The display is sharp, foldable and can be ideally be-Touchen.

Image quality with the said objective: Starting from open aperture super with a BUT. Between aperture 08/02 to 03/06 you get razor-sharp pictures with many details. From aperture 7 drops surprisingly rapidly the curve. Who is the automatic leaves in bright sunlight, perhaps switches to aperture 13 or later, gets blurred porridge as a result. A similar result I have received with the Olympus 45mm lens, but not so conspicuous. So you should on bright days prefer a visor up. Select 6.3 and do not let the automatic switch freely upwards.

The full aperture capability, coupled with Rauscharmmut makes the camera ideal for all but low-light situations. I have tried it out with the comparatively low-light expert Fujifilm X-E1 and a FUJFILM 35mm / 1.4. Well, the Fujifilm makes from ISO 2500 is the cleaner pictures, but with a fairly slow autofocus. Autofocus is fast and the Olypmus accurately under all lighting conditions. And the bottom line is the nose of Fujifilm was not really far forward with APS-C sensor. What speaks for the Olympus.

Olympus has incorporated a small trip-free threshold for its customers - and is not factory, the entire menu is activated. One must first find the hidden menu and switch then has access to all parameters according to your mood - eg personal picture settings regarding sharpness and noise reduction or individual assignment of the buttons - configure. (The stupid video button - sorry, I personally want to photograph, do not shoot - I have assigned exposure lock, my second most important key to the trigger.)

Overall, the camera is very fast, which begins with the switching. And it is incredibly small, even smaller than the compact camera Panasonic LX100. A true, high-quality in every direction Olympus PEN, a class camera that comes with a clip-on flash. The attachable viewfinder but you have to purchase optional self - and that's not cheap (VF-4 or cheaper and worse VF-3). But image quality combined with speed make this camera because of their apparent obscurity into a real insider tip.
