johnp Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 <p>I think the camera is interesting but I wont be buying it. I come from the recent Canon camp but have owned Olympus cameras in the past and they make a decent camera. That being said 2 things bother me about it:<br> 1. No viewfinder.<br> 2. No flash. Yes I know an onboard flash would be small and not very powerful but its useful at times when taking pictures of people and things closer.<br> I have had a Canon 10D in the past but the weight and bulk killed me. I sold it and now my primary camera right now is a Canon G9. Frankly it takes great pictures in most conditions except at high ISO. I know they did not include a viewfinder nor flash for aesthetic reasons as the original Pen did not have a flash but I think its a mistake. My G9 has both a flash and a viewfinder.<br> I will wait till I see what else comes on the market before I buy.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_guthrie Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 <p>No. I too live in Japan and the photo magazines are awash with reviews of the camera. I'll take an up-close-and-personal look this weekend to verify my decision. The interesting thing about all the hype is that it has kindled my interest in the old Pen F. I may actually buy one of those rather than the EP1.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volker_schenk1 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 <p>Yes, I will buy it now, as it got an articulated screen.<br> Her name is NEX-5, her manufacturer is Sony. See my article from July 10.<br> By the way, I shoot Panasonic G1 in the meanwhile. One of the few things missing is IIS, as the Olympus is still missing an articulated screen - you could make an excellent camera combining both...<br> You can see a little comparison between the Pana G1 and the Contax G1 by hitting the G-Spot on my website.<br> I just sold my E3, as I see no sense in 4/3rds. DSLE will be the future. I still need a "2x cropfactor" camera and thinking of replacing the excellent G1 with a IIS body E-PL1 or E-P2 or even the G2 w/o......<br> VolkerSchenk.com</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
