OLYMPUS E-PL2 REVIEW

Olympus E-PL2 is the latest digital camera from the maker of many high end digital cameras. The E-PL2 features a 3-inch LCD with 460,000 pixels, 720p HD movie capture, the latest-generation TruePic V Image Processor, an SDHC- and SDXC-compatible memory card slot, and four color choices for the body: red, silver, white, or black. Additionally, the new Zuiko 14-42mm 3.5-5.6 II MSC kit lens has improved autofocusing.

As with its predecessor, the PEN E-PL1, you also get in-body image stabilization, a pop-up flash (now with wireless flash control for certain Olympus flashes), and an effective dust-reduction system. Olympus has enhanced the Live Guide controls so that you can see the way a picture will look before you actually press the shutter button. All LCDs with Live View can preview the image for you. With Olympus’s Live Guide, you also have specific controls in plain English, such as "make brighter" or "make darker," that you can see on the LCD as you’re moving the slider.
