Olympus launches E P2 Micro Four Thirds cam Olympus E P2

Olympus has released the E-P2, the company’s second Micro Four Thirds compact cam that improves on the original (E-P1) 12.3MP cam by adding continuous motion-track autofocusing—for tracking a moving target–along with manual controls during HD video recording.

Aside from the technology updates, the cam is still technically identical the same as its predecessor. It’s still a very advanced compact cam though, featuring in-cam image stabilization, multiple exposures, a Digital Leveler, MF assist, full manual controls, and support for Micro Four Thirds and Four Thirds system lenses.

Only available in “Retro Black”, the E-P2 packs a steeper $1,100 price tag though (compared to the E-P1’s $800 price). Olympus offers two kits that come with either a 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 lens or a 17mm f2.8 pancake lens for the same price.

    I think this Olympus camera is somehow similar to its predecessor that is why I am not impressed with this new camera. Other than that, Olympus should made the lenses bought separately since if the lenses are included with the camera considering the fact that they are not the same lenses, then Olympus will not profit much. Also, the steep price is not really customer-attractive so they prefer other brands such as Canon or Sony. Olympus should re-think what they are doing.
