Most of you will know that I love my Olympus E-P1 lots and not too long ago when its little brother … the E-PL1 was launched … I did mention that it looks ugly and ain’t too interested about it. A friend recently bought a black E-PL1 and told me that it “doesn’t feel solid enough” … compared to a DSLR(???!!!). I tried not to laugh. Why in the world would anyone try compare the feel of using that entry level ‘grown up point and shoot’ with a DSLR? I won’t even wanna compare an E-P1 with a DSLR. They are just too different.<\/p>\n

Anyway, he is considering selling it but lent it to me to have a ‘feel’ of it … to see if I am interested. Oh gosh! So I held that baby in my hands and somehow after a while … it seem to feel pretty good! It could be because this one is black in color. The other day when I held a white one in the shop … it felt very plasticky. Hmm. My eyes must be fooling my brain! Hahaha! It does feel a lot lighter compared to the E-P1 and the size ain’t really to much different from the E-P1.<\/p>\n

I’ve yet to really ‘test drive’ it but here are some random snapshots I took just for fun. Played a little with the art filters too. These test shots are not post processed (aka no Photoshop) and are only resized for web.<\/p>\n

An online review by SteveHuff Photo … ‘The best JPEG camera ever?’<\/a> made me wanna check out how this affordable camera perform but then … I ain’t too fussy about my photos, so how do am I suppose to know if it works well? Hahaha!<\/p>\n

\n

These were taken in the normal mode …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Pop Art filter mode … wild vivid colors! Works well but not on all subjects.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Grainy black & white mode is pretty fun. I’ve never tried it on my E-P1 and guess I should!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The pinhole mode. Well … it’s just like adding some vignetting to the photos.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Diorama mode … hmm … maybe I need to find better scenes (higher up) to get proper photos.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The soft sepia tone mode … which is so darn boring! A little bit of contrast\/curve adjustment will definitely do some good. The default is way too … zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’ll try to find time and do a E-P1 and E-PL1 comparison while this cammie is still in my hands. Stay tuned! So far I think … as n E-P1 user … there are things I miss like the scroll wheels but I’m getting used to it after a while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
