Olympus PEN E-PL1 review: Olympus PEN E-PL1
Reasonably priced for an interchangeable-lens model, with the same high-quality photos of its siblings, the E-PL1 nevertheless suffers from slow performance that makes it a poor choice for snapshooters looking to upgrade.
Pros:
- Excellent build quality
- very good photo quality
- can shoot raw+JPEG in every mode, including Art Filters and iAuto.
Cons:
- Slow, with sluggish autofocus
- short battery life
- low-resolution LCD.
