[ E-P2 Hands On ] - 10th November 2009... be the first to touch the E-P2!

[azul123]

If you plan to take video with this camera, better buy the mic, the built-in mic pickup is quite sensitive... can hear background and surrounding noise too clearly.

It was a fun and interactive session. Thanks to Olympus and Microcosm for organising! :thumbsup:

Pinhole art filter...

X-processed art filter

The EVF's resolution is solid!

Looking thru the EVF.. screen is bright and big!

Wow, I am kind of amazed that the Olympus team actually brought lcds and stuffs down to Funan TCC :bigeyes:

I hope Funan TCC had a boom of business ;p

Somebody mentioned that the view thru the EVF looked 3D? :think: Kinda reminds me of looking through Olympus binoculars... :dunno:

Sigh, I'm so sad for having missed out on this gathering :cry:

Where to place the order?

 

[chalib]

Now i am falling in love with E-P2 :bsmilie:

Hope the price wont make me broken heart :bsmilie:

 

[paisatge]

anyone tried manual focusing using the EVF? How practical is it? :think:

 

[davidsim]

I tried, and I find that it is very usable... If i were to use E-P2 for manual focussing for most purposes, will definitely get it... lucky i am a lazybum, only auto focus for me.. :bsmilie:

I agree that it's nice to be able to shoot something different from the routine here, but nothing beats catching the gang in action altogether... :lovegrin:

 

[Evilmerlin]

Thanks for organising this!

Very impressive viewfinder and it was good to hear from Olympus that the E-P1 will be getting all the other firmware upgrades that the E-P2 will be receiving as well.

If the price is right, I'll be getting this for sure.

[Hitman]

Look like you guys had fun!

And now for the million dollar question - Does the E-P2 focuses faster than the E-P1?

Olympus Malaysia has committed to a RRP of RM3,799.

that is around SGD1.5K.
wonder what is in the package or body alone ?

Olympus Malaysia has committed to a RRP of RM3 799 about S$1 570.

seen from dpreview that the kit RRP (body+14-42+EVF) is USD1.1K. So our prices shouldn't be far off.

since Oly cams have worldwide warranty (IIRC), we can go buy from Msia if the price is better there!
