Image quality is outstanding, especially compared to others in its price range, EPL1 is very easy to use, Shop around, as prices have dropped recently, making it a very good value, Camera has a "retro" look and design, which is appealing, EPL1 is a nice choice as an "intermediate" or "bridge" camera

Sammanfattning: Boasting compact camera-like dimensions, but using a much larger micro Four Thirds format (17.3 x 13mm) Lmos sensor, the E-PL1 is the third iteration of Olympus' popular Pen series. ...
The Olympus PEN E-PL1 is a decent interchangeable lens camera that’s capable of taking clear and vibrant pictures; its art modes are also a lot of fun. However, it really does need a built-in electronic viewfinder (EVF), or at least a bundle that incl...
