The Olympus E-PL7: The Best Available Camera

This is what the E-PL7 Camera looks like. Personally,
I like the design and the old retro look it brings.
  • The current price is $599.00
  • Has great high notes like with its flexible display and its great set of controls
  • However, it is not recommended for rookies due to its complexity
  • Replaces the 2-year old PEN E-PL5 model
  • Of course, it has newer technology
  • Some enhancements that were added to this model include: an updated autofocus system and imaging engine, a better LCD that flips down, and much more
  • The size of the lens in the US alone is 14-42 mm collapsible lens (an available kit)
  • The only colors available are the black and silver models
  • Use the same sensor and image processing as the E-M10 camera
  • The test photos taken looked degraded and blurry a little bit
  • The video quality to the CNET testers seemed average
  • When testing the performance, they saw that the power on and focus times were decent
  • It has that retro, two-tone look according to CNET
  • There are two control dials: the mode dial and the adjustment dial
  • They are next to each other, which will take some time to get the hang of
  • Overall, it is a great camera with a better performance and photo quality comparing with other cameras of the same price
  • CNET's article that I got the information from can be found here
