Skrevet af Noel Christensen i Kamera, Review

Trustedreview.com har anmeldt Olympus Pen E-P1, et helt nyt Micro Four Thirds kamera der bl.a. byder på 12,3 megapixels, HD film og et design der skriger retro.

Trustedreviews.com skriver bl.a.:
A little over seven months ago I reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1, an SLR-like camera using a new lens mount and body design that eliminated the bulky reflex mirror and optical viewfinder that had been a feature of all SLR cameras – film and digital – since 1949. The result was a camera not much bigger than an average super-zoom, but with an SLR-sized Four Thirds sensor and a range of tiny, lightweight interchangeable lenses.

The Micro Four Thirds lens mount and the Four Thirds sensor format were co-developed with Olympus, with the latter being used in Olympus’s E-system digital SLRs, and now Olympus has also launched a camera employing the new format, the Pen E-P1.

The camera’s unusual name and retro styling are a reference to the original Olympus Pen, a series of half-frame 35mm cameras first launched in 1959 and continued in one form or another until the early 1980s. The model on which the Pen E-P1 is styled is the Pen F, an innovative half-frame SLR that used a rotary shutter and porro prism viewfinder, launched in 1963 and manufactured until 1972. The Pen series were nice cameras and sold well for a half-frame, but they are hardly the sought-after classics that Olympus seems to want us to think. You can pick them up on eBay for less than £20.
