Everything else:
Dave Etchells (Imaging Insider) talk with Sally Smith Clemens of Olympus about the new E-P2 Digital Pen.
Interesting comments:
Imaging Insider: “Autofocus. Only one other problem came to light with the Olympus E-P1 in my shooting, and that was a tendency for the AF system to miss focusing on smaller foreground objects in favor of the background. That still happens with the Olympus E-P2, something I wish they’d addressed with a finer AF point, as is included on the Panasonic GF1.”
CNET Asia: “As with the GF1, the new Pen digicam has a port below the hotshoe for users to attach the VF-2 EVF. This accessory has a super-high resolution of 1.44 megapixels, almost seven times that of the Panasonic’s.“ and “On its own, the E-P2 is able to record stereo sound, though often it captures ambient noise as well.” and “The ports for the EVF on the GF1 and E-P2 are different, so they are not interchangeable.” and “The unit we tried was a prototype, so we weren’t not able to find out whether Olympus has fixed the slow focusing problem which plagued the E-P1.“
Photoscala.de: “E-P2+EVF = 899 Euro”

Well, at least it seems to have manual controls for video, but still no 24fps or at least 25 for PAL users. Shame on you Oly!
A little evolution, it’s mainly a E-P1 with good EVF and some new post processing effects. Well, Mr Panasonic, it’s your turn, give us a GF2 with an Olympus EVF like, built-in stereo microphone and jack for external micro, same cools effects, built in stab and electronic level the Olympus has. Oh, yes, and a vga lcd too, and an external flash that can be trigger by the internal one, so we can use both evf and big flash.
@Gabriel – u should buy GH1
On my wish list is a GF2 with a built-in Epson EVF
E-P1, 9-18mm, 14-150mm and the 17mm and I have the perfect travel kit!
Ugh, the only thing on their of any interest in the wide prime, and we don’t know the speed/quality yet. Where is 40mm fast lens?
I like this cam. Manual mode in video sounds great, evf great quality.
but dataport…
how irritating, that external flash is in fight for a hotshe wih evf… i guess they intended, that we will be ok to use hyperfocal with external flash. it’s quite logical, when using external flash, then smaller aperture isn’t issue, but com on! (:
but again hotshoe war – external mic or evf? swiwel lcd looks like right thing in video with attached external mic accessorie, but here is swiwel evf, so no need to waste resources for that lcd…
main new feature, dataport, needs hub
Boring. For people who use old manual lenses to shoot video in m4/3 cams we wanted a premium solution with IBIS. Olympus gave us nothing, and wiped out the slim appeal of the E-P1. No thinking of who they are selling to.
Admin (or somebody else :p),
Any clue if the autofocus speed has been further improved or is that hard to say due to the pre-production models everyone reviewed? The official announcements claim they have but i guess that remains to be seen?
Im liking the diorama filter, surreal stuff, all in all this is more evolution then a real upgrade, good stuff though!
the diorama filter looks like gaussian blur rather than lens blur and looks unusable to anyone with more than a passing curiosity.
Olympus: STOP with the stupid filters on anything but P&Ss. We can do this on our computers muuuuuuuch better.
