This E-P1 was my first mirrorless camera. I loved it, but I hated it, too. It had so many quirks. E.g. it had focus magnification, but this didn't switch off when pressing the shutter button. But hey, Olympus moved on! Just this week I got a Pen E-P7. Nice flip up screen, 20 mp sensor, two dials, many buttons - I love it! (But beware: there is no way to get an EVF for the E-P7!)
E-P1 has mag focus. I suggest the E-P2 which is exactly the same body but can use the Olympus VF-2 electronic viewfinder. E-P1, 2 and 3 screens do not tilt.
Solid - feels like it's machined from a solid block of metal; slow to respond to the controls, slow to focus, low maximum ISO, but in good light it still produced great photos...... plus it's got my birth year marked proudly on it. What's not to like about it in 2024??
I have this camera and made good images with it ,worked well enough has problems in low light due to lack of focusing light but I eventually succumbed to the Fuji system x100t xt10 larger captor ,camera bodies barely larger,have viewing systems etc but it's not to denigrate the ep1 which always felt good in the hand and produced good images albeit slowly
The digital Pen F is the ultimate Pen, still goes for crazy money even 8 years after release. I wish they would make a digital Pen FT instead of re-releasing the OM-1 Mk.3 again and again
i agree the new OM company is out of track! they only promote the Om-1 and Om-5 with cash back... those fools! think people will buy that... what we really want is a new Pen F mark II! 😂😅

Nice video. I bought my E-P1 in mint condition two years ago. Added the 7Artisan 18/6,3 and love the combo.
Got mine converted to IR.. gave it a whole new life and place in my camera bag.

Dissing the Em10 Ok but the em5 ? quality features, great looks and even better a great price
You scored! I have one and would buy another one if I saw it for $100. I still use mine and am always happy with the results.

I still have one of these and love it as a small discreet travel camera. Get f of the AF pancake kit lenses and you’ll love it even more.
I had to have one too. I put a pinhole body cap on it and shoot at the highest ISO in black and white ...
I have the 8, its crazy to see the pen series finally getting it's flowers!
