[ Camera ] All about the OLYMPUS PEN Lite E-PL5

[jonleelk]

Anyone any idea, the 3 inch LCD of the EPL5, dimension wise is same as which Oly cameras? Looks different compared to OMD.

EPL5 LCD is of dimension 80x46 mm.

Just saw m43rumors that epl5 has no AA filter (tks to a friend), if that's really true, best reason to grab one now...

However, a little skeptical though about this as this would be a real marketing tool and selling point for oly...

Surprise: The Olympus E-PL5 has no Low-Pass Filter (no AA filter). | 43 Rumors

I'm quite skeptical on this... but I bought it in a :heart: beat anyway! Its the 17mm f1.8 that is consuming me right now! haha :bsmilie:

Is the EPL5 able to take self portraits? I have seen pictures of the tiltable screen online tilting at 170 degrees for self portrait. But when I went to check it out yesterday at SLR revolution, I couldn't tilt the screen to face myself when the lens is aiming at me. The staff there also confirmed we me that the screen doesn't enable self-protraits.

I'm so confused.

u need to pull the screen outwards, then tilt/flip it upwards

The staff there also confirmed we me that the screen doesn't enable self-protraits.
THEY BLUFF U!!

Wah seh then the staff there are really quite blur. They told me that no 4/3 camera by olympus is able to flip the screen 170-180 degrees.

Thanks for the clarifications!!

Silver looks more metallic. White looks plastic.
