Olympus E-P2 released (and upcoming lenses)


Well, the rumors on the Net were true, the E-P2 is here, and already "available" for pre-order on Amazon.com. The difference between the E-P1 and E-P2 are minimal, in my humble opinion, the E-P2 should have been called E-P1n or something, as far as I can tell the difference are:

  • Accessory port for electronic viewfinder or microphone
  • New tracking AF mode
  • New art filters
  • Black body
That's about it.
Price on Amazon.com:
$1099.99 for the 14-42mm kit
$1099.99 for the 17mm kit



What I find much more interesting are upcoming lenses from Olympus:
  • Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm f/4.0-5.6
  • Zuiko Digital ED 14-150mm f/4.0-5.6

Not the brightest lenses out there but combined with the Panasonic 17mm f1.7 would make the perfect travel kit.
And 43rumours have the Micro Four Thirds lens roadmap! Olympus fisheye, macro and long telephoto (70-300mm?) are coming.
