The new Olympus PEN E-PL1 is truly greater than the sum of its parts, with a surprisingly small camera body packed with technology normally found in bigger, bulkier and heavier professional Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) cameras and High-Definition (HD) camcorders. This third-generation PEN is built for shutterbugs who always wanted better pictures and considered a DSLR, but were intimidated by the bulky size and complex interface. The new camera s simple design and easy interface enable photographers to easily create amazing images never dreamt possible. Less

The Nikon Coolpix P500 has a massive 36x zoom delivering 22.5mm wide-angle to 810mm super-telephoto coverage and full HD movie recording. The easy-to-use and compact COOLPIX P500 is perfect for catching all the action – even if it’s on the other side of the park! The 7.5cm tiltable LCD monitor means you can shoot from down below or up above your head (over the other spectators) – it also makes it easy to share with everyone around you. Less

Cheapest interchangeable lens camera packs a punch

byaloofyouth Jan 21, 2012
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Cheap but more powerful and customizable than compacts
Cons Older LCD screen, sensor, not quite pocketable
Recommended it? Yes

The Olympus E-PL1 is a somewhat dated Compact Interchangeable Lens Camera (CILC) by today's standards, and it shows. Nevertheless, at bargain-basement prices, it becomes a good deal. It has a good JPEG engine with colors that a lot of people like and which is sharper than the GF2's JPEGs; and its... Read full review »

11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros It is small, it is easy to use, and it is great for all ages.
Cons It does not have full HD video.
Recommended it? Yes

I got the Olympus Pen a few months ago and it was so worth it! It takes fabulous photos no matter how much experience you have had using a camera before. It is small, which makes it very easy to carry around, especially when i go on vacation or just want to go out and take a few photos. I would... Read full review »

Pros Good picture quality, minimal shutter lag, easy to use
Cons A bit pricy
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this camera in August, 2011 for use during a trip to Alaska.  It replaced my Olympus SP-800 which suffered from a major case of shutter lag (see my separate review this camera).

Shutter Lag:
For those not familiar with shutter lag, it is the delay between the time you... Read full review »

Good but sometimes faulty . Overall, a good buy.

bymkay4 Feb 13, 2013
10 Helpfuls 11 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great zoom, HD and High Speed Video, good pop-up flash, HD LCD screen (very nice)
Cons stabilizing issues, photos disappearing, a little pricey
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this camera to have a camera that would be both a point and shoot and manual camera. This camera has great video and zoom. It does however have some stabilizing problems when zoomed up very close. I've also had issues with images showing up black on the camera display. Overall I like the... Read full review »
