Oggi, Olympus ha annunciato la tanto attesa micro quattro terzi E-P2. A soli cinque mesi dal lancio della prima micro quattro terzi, la casa propone un nuovo prodotto quasi identico nel design, ma con caratteristiche avanzate. L’innovazione più attesa è il supporto di un mirino elettronico ad alta risoluzione (1440000 pixel), nuovo sensore Live MOS da 12,3 Megapixel, la possibilità di collegare microfoni esterni, AF tracking, nuove funzioni di bilanciamento del colore e la registrazione di video in formato HDHD 1280 x 720 (16:9). Il corpo si presenta identico a quello della E-P1 con la sola differenza della porta per il mirino sotto la slitta del flash.
Anche su questo prodotto, Olympus offre gli Art Filters, cioè dei filtri che permettono di elaborare video e foto in camera. Sulla E-P2, ci sono due nuovi Art Filters per l’elaborazione video: Diorama e Cross Process. Il filtro Diorama emula una ripresa video con ottiche basculanti, offrendo così video dall’effetto “modellino”, mentre il Cross Process, emula l’affioramento di un’immagine durante uno sviluppo fotografico. Olympus E-P2 è compatibile con tutti gli obiettivi micro quattro terzi e gli obiettivi quattro terzi utilizzati con i rispettivi adattatori.
Il corpo si presenta identico a quello della E-P1 con la sola differenza della porta per il mirino sotto la slitta del flash.
Olympus E-P2 sarà disponibile da Gennaio 2010 in kit con il mirino elettronico VF-2 con l’obiettivo Zuiko 14-42mm, ad un prezzo di 949 euro.
Ecco un video girato con la E-P2:

Io che ho acquistato la PEN 1 solo 2 mesi fà ora che faccio? perchè non c’è alcuna considerazione per i possessori della Pen 1?
Perchè i signori della olympus non consentono di recuperare la spesa effettuata e la fiducia data?
