It’s time to tell you more about my amazing new camera, Olympus Pen E-PL7. I’ve had it for about a month, so I’ve had plenty of time to test it properly. To be honest, I’m just falling more and more in love with this extremely good, handy and not to mention pretty camera! I thought I’d list my top five favorite things about the camera in this post. First up;
- The picture quality
The picture quality is the most important thing with any camera. The quality of the photos I snap with my Olympus Pen completely blow me away. They look like they’ve been taken with an SLR camera!! For outfit and detail pictures I use the 45mm lens, which ensures that the object is perfectly in focus, and everything else becomes blurry, just the way I like it. For other pictures I use the standard lens, which fits more into the frame, and gives a very even focus throughout the picture. I definitely use the 45mm lens the most, but I always carry the standard lens in my purse. The attachable flash is also always in my purse, you never know when it might come in handy. Here are some pictures I’ve snapped with Olympus Pen E-PL7:
- The wifi connection/selftimer
This feature is so incredibly genius!! First of all, you can connect your camera to your phone through the wifi in the camera. Open the app ‘OI.Share’ on your phone, and you can import your favorite pics right to your phone, and of course, straight to Instagram. This is so handy, as the picture quality of the Olympus Pen and iPhone can’t even be compared. But my absolute favorite feature is the seltimer! You can set up your camera somewhere, then choose the selftimer option in the app, and you can actually see yourself through the camera lens, right on your phone screen! It’s hard to explain this, and I’ve ended up having to show it to everyone I’ve tried to explain it to, hah. But anway, when you’re happy with the picture you see on your screen, you just tap the screen and you’ll hear a click from the camera, and a picture is taken!
A new feature on this camera is that you can also adjust the camera settings in the app. I usually use manual settings, and I can adjust the exposure, aparture and ISO on my phone. Normally I’ll do a test shot, run back to the camera and adjust the settings, then do it several times until I’m happy with the settings. Now I can do all that from my phone! Here are some pictures taken with the selftimer:
- The flip screen
As if this camera wasn’t perfect enough for a blogger like me as it is; it also has a flip screen! You can just flip the screen downwards, then you can see yourself while you’re snapping a selfie. This is so time-saving, and I’ll get away with taking just a few in stead of a whole bunch hoping that one of them turns out OK.
- The filters
Forget about photo editing on your phone or computer, with this camera you can add filters to your photograph before you’ve even taken the picture! There are several art filters to choose from, here are some of my favorite filters (none of the pictures have been edited). Oh, and how cute is that couple kissing in the park?
- The design
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a prettier camera, have you?! It looks so girly and retro, and it’s the perfect accessory to any outfit. I actually have it on display on my coffee table when I’m not using it because I find it so pretty. The size is also unbeatable. It’s so small and light that it actually fits in my pocket! It doesn’t get more handy than that..
As I’m sure you understand, I’m beyond happy with this camera, and I can’t recommend it enough. Whether you’re a blogger or you’re just looking for a camera to take everyday snapshots and vacation pictures with, this is perfect! The EP-L7 is also cheaper than the EP-5 which I’ve showed you before, so that’s a huge plus. I think this camera is just as good as the other, and more expensive, Olympus camera I have. You can read more about the camera here♥
I need this in my life! My old camera is getting well, old, so this would be perfect! Maybe Santa will be nice and bring this to me this year haha :D
You can have the best camera ever, but if you don’t have an eye for good photography, it is worthless. And you have that eye :) Your photos are always perfect! With great colours, positions, effects, etc. :) And I really like changes you’ve made with your blog. You’re sooo sweet and beautiful :****
åh, jeg har sååå lyst på det kameraet <3 - http://krist.in
Jeg sitter her og vurdererer å bestille. Men på komplett.no har de to forskjellige, nemlig:
https://www.komplett.no/olympus-e-pl7-standard-kit-hvit/824981#!tab:extra
https://www.komplett.no/olympus-e-pl7-pancake-zoom-kit-hvit/824984#!tab:extra
Ser den eneste forskjellen er på objektivet. Hvilken av disse er det du har? :-)
Hei Petrine :) Jeg har den siste, altså 14-42mm-linsen. Det er denne som får med mye i bildet, og jevnt fokus. Jeg vil absolutt anbefale deg å kjøpe 45mm-linsen også, det er denne som gir blurry bakgrunn og mer stemning i bildene. Den heter M.Zuiko Digital 45mm 1:1,8 :)
Anbefales til tusen :)
I hope you find it under the tree on Christmas eve :D
Thank you so much sweetie <3 You're the sweetest!!
Wow for noen skarpe bilder! Litt mer hendig å ha med i veska enn et speilrefleks haha :D Wifi-overføring er SÅ genialt.. Så kan en lett blogge og instagramme fra telefonen på reise. Lyx.
Har ganska nyss hittat din blogg men du är redan en av mina favoriter! Det verkar vara en riktigt bra kamera! Tror jag ska köpa den men jag tycker att det står 14-42mm på både standard och pannkaksobjektivet http://shop.olympus.se/e_commerce/pen-kamera/olympus/e-pl7-pannkaksobjektiv-kit/-p-2268.htm ? Men det är alltså pannkaksobjektivet (den lite dyrare) du har? Är den enda skillnaden mellan de två objektiven att pannkaksobjektivet är smidigare och är bäst om man vill ta vardagsbilder och inte bara detaljbilder? Har jag förstått rätt då? :) Tack för en inspirerande blogg! :)
Tusen takk for det :) Jeg vet ikke helt hva pannkaksobjektiv er? Jeg fikk ikke åpnet linken din :/ Kan du skrive det på engelsk, så skal jeg få svart deg ordentlig? :)
Jaaa ikke sant :)
Okey! Can you open this? :) http://shop.olympus.no/e_commerce/pen-kamera/olympus/e-pl7-pannekake-zoomsett-p-2270.htm?languesite=NO
(It’s the same link you have in the end of your text, and if you scroll down it says “buy” ) And I can only see three options;
1. E-PL7 Pannekake-zoomsett – NOK 5 490,00
2. E-PL7 1442 Kit – SEK 4 990,00
(3. E-PL7 Kamerahus – NOK 3 990,00 )
Do you have the first one or the second one? :)
Thank you so much!
Jeg vil ha!! Bruker du stativ til kamera? :-)
Den 45 linsen, følger den med? eller har du kjøpt utenom? :)
Den må kjøpes utenom :)
Hei Cathrine! Jeg har bare et lite spørsmål ang 45 linsen. Kan man zoome med den? hehe :-D Ha en strålende kveld videre <3
Hei :) Nei, det kan man ikke. Den er allerede ganske zoomet inn, så du må gå litt unna det/den du skal ta bilde av. Standardlinsen kan du derimot zoome med :) Takk det samme♥
Hei! Jeg vurderer å kjøpe dette kamerat. Det jeg lurer på er, er blits inkludert eller er dette noe man må kjøpe i tillegg? I så fall, hvor dyrt er den billigste, vet du det? :)
Jeg tror blitzen er inkludert, men er ikke heelt sikker. Du kan høre med Japan Photo, jeg vet ikke så mye om priser :)
Den eneste forskjellen på pancake-objektivet og det vanlige, er at det har en teleskopfunksjon som gjør at det blir halvparten så stort når kameraet er slått av. Det er minimal til ingen forskjeller på bildekvalitet og andre muligheter.
Åå oki. Mitt blir mindre når kameraet slås av :)
Da har du pancake-objektivet. Det er ca. 1000 kr dyrere enn det vanlige:)
Hei :)
Hva stiller du kamera inn på for å ta de blurry bildene med 45 mm linsen? Har du det på auto, eller skifter du på innstillingene? :)
De blir blurry på auto, men jeg bruker gjerne manuelle :) Sjekk ut guiden jeg lagde her ♥
Takk for raskt svar, søte :)
Super godt indslag! Har endeligt besluttet mig for at købe kameraet, og kan ikke vente med at få det. Vil også lige høre dig hvor dine smukke sorte støvler på billedet med art filteret på, er fra?
