The style of Olympus products is easily recognizable by the combination of retro design and modern touches in the appearance. Thanks to this mirrorless Olympus PEN E-PL8, the role of a kind of stylish accessory with a leather-like finish is assigned, which is not a sin to carry with you on an ongoing basis.
improvement
At its core, the camera is "finished" to the perfect mirrorless Olympus PEN E-PL7 with improvements in terms of design and software. Otherwise, it uses the same 16-megapixel Micro 4/3 sensor and the “hardware” similar to its predecessor, as a result of which the characteristics of both cameras often intersect with each other. The main thing is that the camera got the key “chip” of the E-PL7 — a 3-axis matrix image stabilization system, with which you can compensate for up to 3.5 stops of exposure when shooting handheld in low light conditions.
Processor worries
The camera "shoots" a series of 20 frames in RAW format or 44 shots in JPEG resolution at a shooting speed of up to 8 fps. Also, the image processor provides a good result when shooting at high ISO values, although it is still not recommended to turn them up over 3200-6400 units.
Trust in automation
The photographer is provided with 25 scene shooting programs and 14 artistic filters that can be applied not only to photographs, but also to videos. However the model does not shine with the quality of video shooting, which is typical of all Olympus cameras. Another minor drawback of the model is the lack of a built-in flash. Instead, a miniature external flash with a guide number of 10 at ISO 200 is carefully stowed in the camera box.
Optics park
Following the latest trends in the industry, the camera has a tilting touch screen that flips out to the selfie position. You can shoot self-portraits at a wide angle kit lens — Olympus 14-42mm f / 3.5-5.6, which is a universal solution for all occasions. Any lens from the widest fleet of optics for the Micro 4/3 system can serve as a replacement for it — the most developed among the rest of the class of mirrorless cameras.
