Product Information

The PT-EP10 Underwater Case designed for the OLYMPUS PEN Lite E-PL6 and OLYMPUS PEN Lite E-PL5 is waterproof to a depth of 45 m and provides a full-fledged system for underwater photography *12 . Olympus E-PL8 and Olympus E-PL6 have the same Micro Four Thirds lens mount and currently there are 123 native lenses available for these cameras. The camera body recognizes the IS built into the lens, allowing for optimal image stabilizing effects. My friend might be willing to part with his once he upgrades, but I'll only get the body, and Canon's fast 50mm lenses is at least twice as expensive as Olympus'.

anyway, but with the Pen E-PL6, I won't need an adapter, and it should play well with the camera's autofocus. Mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras, best exemplified by Olympus's PEN series, have received the warm and enthusiastic support of photographers who want to enjoy photography more conveniently. If you've got more of a budget, however, don't count out Sony's fastest mirrorless camera, the Alpha 6000 , or the Olympus OM-D E-M10 if you prefer to stay with the Micro Four Thirds mount—both are excellent choices that earned Editors' Choice honors when we reviewed them. The shooting buffer is pretty decent too—it can grab 18 JPG, 16 Raw, or 15 Raw+JPG images before slowing down.This image sensor features vivid color representation and high resolution that reproduce a natural three-dimensional feeling, together with a spectacular improvement in sensitivity and noise reduction, achieving maximum sensitivity of ISO 25600 for still images. It handles almost anything quite nicely and you can definitely use it as a main camera when you need it. Dynamic range has also been expanded, enabling richer expression of gradations between dark and bright areas with a wide range of intensity.

Would the E-PL6 be a better camera to grow with for a couple years considering the add ons and lenses? Originally announced in Asia and Europe only but eventually making it over to the United States, the Olympus PEN E-PL6 is extremely closely related to the Olympus E-PL5, with only one notable hardware difference, and four changes in firmware. Olympus E-PL6 has a score of 59 for Sports Photography which makes it an AVERAGE candidate for this type of photography. The top of the camera gives you an ON/OFF button with a bright LED indicating that the camera is ready for action, a shutter release, and a standard Olympus PASM wheel. The two remaining new features are closely related to each other, and were seen previously in the Olympus E-P5.You can tell this camera was meant to shoot mostly on P mode, as changing aperture and shutter speed manually requires a bit of patience and will not happen as quickly as it will on cameras with thumb and forefinger command dials at the ready. at Dell Technologies) , or the Olympus OM-D E-M10 if you prefer to stay with the Micro Four Thirds mount—both are excellent choices that earned Editors' Choice honors when we reviewed them.

After a few months using it, I am very confident that the E-PL6 will continue to deliver great results in any circumstance that demands specific photography needs from it. Unfortunately E-PL6 doesn't have a built-in flash but it has a flash shoe for mounting external flashes and Olympus also includes a small external flash with the E-PL6 that you can mount on when you need. I inherited an old tripod that does the job, I have my microphones and audio interface from my music production work, jury-rigged a 3-point lighting setup with CFL bulbs and pieces of fogged glass to diffuse the light, and got Sony Movie Studio 13 on Steam for next to nothing. One clear advantage of the Micro Four Thirds format is that the smaller sensor fits nicely into the image circle produced by the lens.Unfortunately neither the Olympus PEN E-PL8 nor Olympus PEN E-PL6 provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. fps is possible by tracking the AF across a wider image area than with digital SLR cameras based on phase difference detection AF. And, once you learn your way around, things are much happier with the Olympus menus, but I kept a PDF copy of the manual handy on my smartphone and ended up referencing it a few times.
