Arrived today: The Olympus PEN E-P5
They have arrived! Today we unpacked the new Oly PEN including the 17mm F1.8 kit with the new VF4. The PEN EP5 is packed with new features including focus peaking to assist with manual focus, (You have to come in to try it, it works really well) updated image stabilisation, new LCD, superfine focus points, WIFI with remote capture control so you can completely control the camera with your phone or tablet, the list goes on. Plus it has high performance specs including some that out-do the OMD. The camera can now manage 1/8000th shutter speeds and a flash sync of 1/320th, that’s fast. After playing around with it today I’m really impressed by the build – it feels great in the hand, very solid. The 17mm kit is a good idea also, one of the best things about the MFT system is the available lenses so it’s good to see Olympus supporting these fast primes. Anyone who wants the best IQ from their camera goes for this lens usually anyhow, so making the 17mm a kit lens is a natural choice for a premium kit. It looks great in black too. This kit also includes the VF4 which is the highest resolution electronic viewfinder on the market, all together this is a wicked street photography combo.
Of course the camera is also available with the good ‘ol 14-42mm kit or as body only both in black or silver. Come in and check them out while there’s some still left. We also have some nice glossy brochures for you to drool over.
-Dan.
