Hello,
So I have decided to get myself an Olympus Pen camera. Now I have three choices: EPL1, EP1 and EP2. Other than EPL1 having a built in flash (I assume if you have a good lens you won't need to use flash), what are other differences between the three cameras? Do you see any of them dropping in price this month or early next month? My options are:
1. E-P1 with 17mm f/2.8 lens and viewfinder - $549
2. E-PL1 with 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Zuiko Zoom Lens - $429
3. E-P2 with 17mm f/2.8 lens - $635
I will definitely do a lot of video so from what I read, the 17mm lens is better than the 14-42mm. I'm new to photography and have only used a point and shoot camera. I've seen some amazing videos on vimeo shot with the GF1 and the 20mm pancake lens. Will the video quality be just as good with the Olympus Pen cameras if I get the Panasonic 20mm pancake lens?
