just curious... was the Gradation set to Auto? :think: i see some noise on the shadows and dark parts

 

[clubgrit]

Just checked last one, it is Auto Gradation, according to Olympus Master.

Vivid Picture Mode

Spot metered (not bad ...). The metering really raises my curiosity to go to a shop and try this E-PL1 hands-on ...

I passed by one yesterday, looks "cheap" build for its price, but who cares, as long as it performs ...

haha, i tried @ IT show today with 17mm lens.
Silver color....but feels abit plasticky compared to EPs & my GF-1.
Can tell they cut down on the built quality...so feel not so shiok.

AF & IQ cant test....only molest it:bsmilie:

My work cam with lens & Flash already weight near 3kg, I dont feel very shiok when I use it more than 8 hours for my assignment.:bsmilie:

actually plasticky is what i looking in E-PL1, the lighter the better, dont feel the load when i bring it out daily with me like a PnS cam shooting for fun.:thumbsup:

Agreed! It's so much easier on my shoulder and I can now carry it everyday in my laptop bag. I like the live view too as my Nikon D80 has none. Live view is a plus when you want someone to help you to take pictures of yourself.

tt's the reason y i come into m4/3. it goes wherever i go with a neck strap!

but comparing the feel between the ep-1/2, gf1 & ep-L1 the the feel is more toy like ;(. i prefer the weight/feel compromise on the ep-1/2 & gf1 much more.

haha juz to share bought my plastic yashica f521....for creative shots

finally able to try the E-PL1 at the IT show. I dont find it to focus faster than the E-P1/P2. I did try them side by side using the kit lens. i even find the E-P2 more responsive though i cant say for sure.

feel wise, i still think E-P1/P2 wins. i forgot to try the built-in flash though :kok:

Tried it out at ITshow. Focusing speed doesn't seem much diff between the 3 mFT model
Size is also not as "compact" as expected.

Will wait for more reviews before deciding...

Anyone bought the champagne gold / silver one? Just want to check whether the kit lens 14-42 is black or silver in colour? How do you like your colour choice? I wanted to look for the white one, but when I had a quick glance of it in real life, white makes it look a bit too plasticky than gold/silver. By the way, very hard to find single-lens kit currently in the shops I frequent.

 

[Xing]

is it? I bot the single lens kit 14-42 from AP at SLS. gold/silver body, lens is silver too.

THanks XIng for the pic. Looks great! Was confused cos the box shows black lens with the champagne gold unit right?

Anybody bought a white one?
