High-end sensor delivers field-leading image quality in an entry-level package
The use of Olympus’ top-of-the-line Micro Four Thirds CMOS sensor brings its entry-level PEN E-PM2 to a new level of image quality, allowing it to handily beat out all the competitors in its low-end price range. Add to that an ever-growing list of features that bring it closer than ever to matching Olympus’ step-up midrange model, the PEN E-PL5, and that means this new super compact hybrid shooter is a great choice for people looking to shoot sports or landscapes while minimizing their load.

Introduced in mid September, the Olympus PEN E-PM2 is the second generation of Olympus’ entry-level Micro Four Thirds hybrid camera. It sports a newly updated design with a useful, fixed grip and a touch-screen interface among other updates, but the big news is that it has inherited the sensor of the much-admired Olympus OM-D E-M5, the current top-of-the-line Micro Four Thirds camera. |
