Manual of product PEN E-P2
Editorial note
The Olympus PEN E-P2 stands out for its exceptional image quality, thanks to its 12.3 MP Live MOS sensor, which allows capturing every detail with great precision. The built-in image stabilizer ensures sharp photos and videos, even in motion, enhancing the user experience. The various autofocus modes, such as Multi Point, Single, and Tracking, offer valuable flexibility to adapt to different shooting situations. However, this model has some notable drawbacks. The lack of a built-in flash limits low-light photography options, and the maximum video resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels may seem insufficient compared to current standards. Additionally, the internal memory of 0 MB requires the use of memory cards, incurring extra costs. In terms of design, the Olympus PEN E-P2 features a modern and sleek look, with a metal body that provides durability, although its weight of 335 g is slightly higher than some competitors. The 1150 mAh battery capacity ensures good autonomy, but the lack of compatibility with Mac operating systems may restrict its use for some users. Overall, the value for money is satisfactory, even if additional costs related to memory cards must be taken into account. The device is well-suited for photography enthusiasts looking for a compact camera that combines performance and elegance.Score details
