“ The E-P2 looks nearly identical to the original E-P1, with two exceptions. The most obvious change is the color: while the E-P1 came in silver or white, the E-P2 is available in translucent black only. The other change is the addition of the accessory port, which you'll see in a moment. Adding this port makes the E-P2 very slightly taller than the E-P1 -- we're talking 0.1 mm here. Aside from those two things, they're the same beast. That means that you get a mostly metal, retro-styled body (based on Olympus' classic "Pen" film cameras), a small, faux leather grip, and easy one hand operation... ”

“ Overall, our initial reaction to the E-P2 is postiive. Movie shooters will welcome the added flexibility of shutter speed and aperture control, and the option to use an external mic is a major step forward. The electronic viewfinder offers a handsome view of the scene at hand, and we've forgiven Olympus for the brief nose-mashing we experienced when we first tried the system.
As far as price is concerned, the $1099 system matches the cost of a Panasonic GF1 (reviewed here) plus the optional electronic viewfinder for that camera. The GF1 includes a built-in pop-up flash that the E-P1 lacks, which means you can shoot with an EVF and flash simultaneously, not possible with the Olympus. The other key question about the E-P2 is autofocus speed, a decided negative mark against the E-P1. Since we were shooting with a pre-production unit, we'll reserve judgment on that score until we get a final system in for review. We can say, though, that the new Continuous Autofocus Tracking capability worked very nicely, and made working with autofocus while shooting a moving subject much more practical... ”

“ Olympus has once again produced a nice little SLD (Single Lens Direct-view) digital camera, one with personality and pretty darn good image quality. It's impressive that Olympus was able to respond so quickly to the desires of the press and its early users, adding a few key features that make a difference to the user experience and the Olympus E-P2's utility. To me the most important of those features is the new Accessory port, which allows attachment of the EVF and the external mic jack. The addition of full Manual exposure control to the Movie mode is also great for aspiring movie makers who don't want a stray flashlight beam to upset their exposure while making an X-Files fan film.
As of this writing, it looks like the Olympus E-P2 will only be available in bundles with a lens and the VF-2 electronic viewfinder, making its $1,100 price a little high for those who've already purchased an E-P1 and want the extra functionality. Hopefully they'll release at least one more body-only package soon. Despite the EVF's excellent quality, I'm not sure it's a must-have accessory; and anything Olympus can do to help existing owners upgrade their system with an additional body is probably a good idea going into the holiday shopping season... ”
