Hi All, i need help choosing between the E-P2 and E-PL1. I'm in a dilemma.
truth to be told I'm a novice in photography. I did take BASIC fundamentals in a photography module at school, played with an SLR for a while, so I have basic knowledge about shutter, aperture, ISO and a few other basic in-cam stuff. I'm trying to find one that is worth investing in, even though an entry level DSLR is cheaper but I'll rather pay more for something less burden to carry around.
One of the drawbacks of the E-P2 for me is the lack of flash. I seldom turn on the flash on my PnS camera so I'm not sure if flash is a must on a micro four thirds cam/SLR, or is it just a great addition to have like the E-PL1??
The downside for the E-PL1 for me is the build less solid, and the lesser range of shutter speed. at 1/2000 max, does it restrict a lot of stuff?
I hope i don't come off as ambitious trying to buy a prosumer cam like the E-P2 where an E-PL1 might be more suitable for an amateur like me. I'm just hoping to find one that can learn more, and purchase one that can build on for a very long while.
Thank you for your kind advise.
