Olympus PEN E-P2: A Rangefinder-Style Micro Four Thirds Original
The E-P2 carries a Four Thirds CMOS sensor at 12.0 megapixels through Olympus's TruePic V processor, paired with sensor-shift image stabilization that steadies handheld shots regardless of which Micro Four Thirds lens is mounted. The 2x focal length multiplier means your glass reaches further than its stated length suggests, a trait landscape and travel shooters can put to good use when packing light.
Manual shooters get full control here: aperture priority, shutter priority, and manual exposure modes are all onboard, with shutter speeds spanning 60 seconds to 1/4000 sec for long-exposure night work or freezing fast action in bright light. The optional electronic viewfinder attaches via hot-shoe, and that same hot-shoe accepts external flash units since there's no built-in strobe. A 3-inch HyperCrystal LCD with anti-reflective coating keeps the fixed screen visible in daylight, backed by 230,000 dots for composing and reviewing shots.
Exposure bracketing across 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, and 1 EV steps in 3-frame sets gives you room to nail tricky lighting, while white balance bracketing adds another layer of control across blue/amber or magenta/green axes. RAW capture is supported for photographers who want full post-processing latitude. Built at 355 g and shaped like a classic rangefinder, this is a body designed to disappear in the hand while still delivering manual control over every exposure variable that matters.
Who It's For
Street photographers gravitate toward the E-P2's rangefinder-style body and compact 355 g weight, since a small, quiet mirrorless system draws less attention on the sidewalk than a bulkier DSLR. Travel shooters benefit from the sensor-shift stabilization working across any Micro Four Thirds lens attached, cutting down on the need to carry a tripod for handheld low-light scenes. Night and long-exposure photographers will find the 60-second minimum shutter speed useful for star trails or light painting, while the 1/4000 sec maximum handles bright daylight apertures. Photographers who bracket exposures or white balance for tricky lighting get dedicated bracketing modes built into the body, and anyone shooting RAW retains full control over the final image in post.

FAQ
- What sensor and resolution does the E-P2 use?
- 12.0MP Four Thirds CMOS sensor processed through TruePic V. It captures at 3200 x 2400 in 4:3 ratio, with options down to 640 x 480 for different uses.
- How does the 2x focal length multiplier affect lens selection?
- Any Micro Four Thirds lens you mount acts as if it's twice its stated focal length. A 25mm becomes 50mm equivalent, a 50mm becomes 100mm - useful for travel and landscape work when you want reach without bulk.
- What manual exposure controls are available?
- Aperture priority, shutter priority, and full manual mode. Shutter speeds run from 60 seconds to 1/4000 sec, letting you handle long exposures at night or fast action in daylight. Exposure compensation goes ±3 EV in 1/3, 1/2, and 1 EV steps.
- Does the E-P2 have image stabilization?
- Yes, sensor-shift stabilization built into the body. It works with any Micro Four Thirds lens you mount, steadying handheld shots regardless of focal length.
- Can you shoot RAW and bracket exposures?
- RAW capture is supported for full post-processing control. Exposure bracketing captures 3-frame sets across 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, and 1 EV steps. White balance bracketing also available across blue/amber or magenta/green axes.
- What's the viewfinding setup?
- The screen is a fixed 3-inch HyperCrystal LCD with anti-reflective coating and 230,000 dots. An electronic viewfinder attaches via hot-shoe if you prefer eye-level shooting - it's optional, not built-in.
- What are the video specs?
- 1280 x 720 at 30 fps in Motion JPEG format with stereo microphone. Records to SD/SDHC cards via USB 2.0 or Mini HDMI output for external playback.
