Hi All
OK, yes, I know I'm bonkers, etc., BUT!!!!!
I took back the NEX 5 to the shop today as I wasn't happy enough with it to keep it due mainly to no decent AF lenses. The chap asked if there was anything else I wanted to exchange it for, and I asked if he had the E-PL2. He said they had the 1st batch in last night, and they had 1 black one. After playing with it for a while, I loved how it looked and felt, so I decided to buy it!!!
I got home and tested it out.
Good bits
Retro looks
Silent focus motor
AF DAMN quick, really surprised!
Light.
Feels great to hold.
IS superb!
Easy to set up and use.
Scene modes are AWESOME!!! You can go into, say, Monochrome and there are loads of custom settings in there - plus you can customise it yourself, so that you can get what you want. I think this could be real fun! Some ART modes also have different types.
Image quality.....the biggy for me.....SUPERB. I was really surprised by how good the lens is. I have popped a couple test shots below.
I think that I got one of the 1st E-PL2's in the country! They were not even on display, plus I got it £30 cheaper than I thought it was going to be.
Bad Bits
No RAW support in LR and prob not for PS either.
No MF Adapter yet, gonna have to order one today.
So there ya go. AWESOME!! Probably the best move I have ever made! And I seriously think that if any camera could replace my DSLR, this camera is it!!!! 10/10 Olympus!!
