Olympus - SLR - 12.3 megapixel - Standard SD - SDHC - 3 x optical zoom - ISO 6400 - 11.8 ounce

The stylish retro black metal body of the 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.

If you are tired of carrying around a heavy, clumsy SLR, the Pen E-P2 is a great alternative.

The results from the PEN E-P2 are excellent, as good as those from the E-620 or E-30. This makes a great second.

love the ep2 and vf2 combination. sold the ep1 bcos it did not really work with manual focussing of fast lenses. if you use af and the m43 lenses. Great Camera. A cute small camera - similar to the Olympus Pen I own some 40 years. Quite responsive, and the EVF is very good (besides in low light conditions).

Fantastic Walk-Around Camera I was definitely on the fence about this camera for a while. I currently own a Nikon D60 and a Canon point-and-shoot. Love this Micro 4/3 camera! A devout Canon person, it took courage to order an Oly product. After some getting used to the menus and controls.

When recording a movie, you cannot change the settings for exposure compensation, aperture value or shutter speed. In movie mode, [IMAGE STABILIZER] provides electronic stabilization. When you use this function, the recorded image is enlarged by a small amount. Also, [I.S.1] will operate regardless of the settings for [I.S.1], [I.S.2] and [I.S.3]. Stabilization is not possible when the camera shake is excessive. When using a lens with an image stabilization function, turn off the image stabilizer function of either the lens or the camera. You cannot use [g FACE DETECT] in movie mode. With some types of card, you cannot record to the end of the available time and recording is canceled automatically during operation. Also, the size of any given file is limited to 2 GB. When the inside of the camera becomes hot, shooting is automatically stopped to protect the camera. You cannot make a further recording while the card access lamp is blinking at the end of a recording. It is recommended to use a SD speed class 6 compatible card for movie shooting.

Technical specifications

Full description

The stylish retro black metal body of the 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 included VF-2 electronic view finder or optional external microphone adapter.
