Having fun with the E-P1

[hot]

Here are a few simple shots taken in a ten minute break this afternoon with the E-P1 and the kit lens:

Eyyy, same butterfly at same plant

Thanks frozen in time. Clearly my favorite as well. Don't love the jpeg...waiting for RAW support!

Last night. The histogram of this shot was a surprise. Nothing even close to blowing. Straight from the camera. Histogram below.

Now this is impressive DR

Looking very good so far! Anxious to see more from this little cam.

Terry, will also chime in with an "atta girl" for your bridge shot, brilliant.
How do you find working with the LCD? Your 50 lux looks great on the E-P1, what a nice combo for low light shooting, eh?

Re: E-P1 Histogram and B+W

Take a look on this page:

and scroll down to Brian's 4 B+W shots with the E-P1 + 17mm f2.8 pancake - Nº 2 is a beautiful example of what this camera does with monochrome; good histogram here I'll bet!

The monochrome on this camera has seriously caught my eye! The full set (link in this thread) from the person at DPreview is outstanding.

I agree--I'm paying attention because this is something that is of interest to me.

Can't resist....Brian Mosely asked for a side shot so I posted this on DPReview:

If feels really good on the camera. I'm taking it with me today and will test it out as a portrait lens at work. LOL

Terry, Love your images of the Gate. I, too am interested in the black and whites. Where is the link that you mentioned? thanks, Durr

 

[Terry]

Yes, I saw his images. Very nice. Terry, I would love to see your shot of the guy, his kite and the Golden Gate when you process the raw image. I love it like it is but want to see what you do to it. BTW, which M adapter did you get? Thanks, Durr

Stop it. I can't afford another camera right now, let alone another system.

You are all EVIL. Evil, I tell ya...

 

[kweide]

I was unsure... white or silver.... okay i will go for silver
17mm pancake. Leica adapter to fit my 90 mm cron and the 4/3 adapter as well. Now i have to wait until the first E-P1 will arrive in Hamburg.

Olympus left the store three demo E-P1s to play with, I'm going to try one out with a Canon 50/0.95 today and will post some shots.

To the lucky owners of this new little camera, how do you cope with the screen resolution ?

well, to me at least I don't see anything in that image which I would expect to blow, it seems quite soft light (speaking as an Australian where we have more challenging light).

How does it compare to the G1 with same lens / settings?

Hi,

has anyone tried the Pana-Kit (14-45) and Video with the E-P1? The Oly-Kit is with C-AF extremly loud, listen here:

I tested the Pana 14-45, it is much smoother/quieter than the 14-42 Olympus in my quick test. I did not shoot any video to measure the noise level however, this was just what I noticed when focusing. I can do more tests today.

I'm not sure 'cope' is the right word, it's not as many pixels but seems plenty good enough in my experience.

I should have said "manage". How is it in bright light outside ? How "sharp" is it to focus ?
