Wg tego co gdzieś czytałem, nie będzie EVF do EP-1, bo nie ma żadnych styków ku temu na gorącej stopce. Olek pracuje nad innym aparatem z EVF (pewnie większym a la G1).
Jeszcze kilka ciekawostek na temat EP-1.
Ekranik LCD:
"Q. What is the E-P1 LCD screen like?
A. It's a large and bright 3 inch screen, but has no more dots than previous recent E-Systems DSLRs, so Panasonic's G1 has a higher resolution screen (230,000 dots versus 460,000). One thing that is particularly impressive is the viewing angle range of the new screen, both vertically and horizontally. Even at almost 180 degrees, the brightness and clarity is virtually un-diminished, which goes some way to compensating for the lack of an articulating screen."
Czyli LCD nie jest jakiś wypaśny, rozdzielczość dosyć niska jak na dzisiejsze standardy (szkoda że nie dali OLED), ale dobrze widać nawet pod ostrym kątem.
Możliwości wideo EP-1:
"Q. Can the E-P1 HD shoot video?
A. Yes. I'm told that motion JPEG 720p at 30 frames per second is supported, although I wonder if the European model will be 25fps - I will check later. 1080 resolution 'full HD' is not supported. I hope to provide sample movies for download soon.
Q. Is stereo sound recorded?
A. Yes.
Q. Does autofocus work continuously in video mode?
A. Yes, though there is an option to switch this off if you are concerned about picking up the noise of the autofocus motor in the lens. I'm told that the AF motors in the lenses have been sound-proofed to an extent, but they are not silent like the specialist Panasonic Vario G 14-140mm video kit lens. It's not yet known if the video AF mode of the 14-140 Panasonic is supported."
Czyli do filmów lepszy będzie Panasonic GH1 z 14-140, ale nie jest źle. AF działa, a to na razie rzadka rzecz pośród lustrzanek z możliwością nagrywania filmów.
Przy okazji, filtry artystyczne działają także z filmami:
"Q. What other interesting features can be found in the E-P1?
A. Both Art Filters and the digital level features from the E-30 DSLR are included in the E-P1. Art Filter effects can also be used in the movie mode. There is a 'clear skin' portrait mode. A mini HDMI port is provided for connection direct to a HD TV with the appropriate cable."
Matryca identyczna z tą w E30 i G1, nadrabia nowym prockiem. Dopiero GH1 ma inną matrycę.
"Q. Does the E-P1 use the latest multi-aspect ratio Four Thirds sensor as used in the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1?
A. No, the 12MP sensor is basically the same as that used in the E-30 and E-620 DSLRs, and the Panasonic G1. However, Olympus has upgraded its TruePic image processor for the E-P1 and this appears to enable higher performance live view autofocus and a higher maximum ISO setting of 6400. Initial impressions of 6400 ISO are that it's grainy, but relatively free of chroma noise. I'll post samples throughout the ISO range, assuming I'm permitted by Olympus, as soon as possible. Multi-aspect ratio frame modes ar"
Na nowe szkiełka do micro4/3 od Olka poczekamy przynajmniej do wiosny 2010 (vide zdjęcie z prezentacji z roadmap):
"Q. What does the Olympus Micro Four Thirds lens road map look like?
A. So far there are only two lenses declared by Olympus; the 17mm pancake and the 14-42 standard zoom. Adapters for Four Thirds and OM lenses have been produced."
Czyli w tym roku mamy jeszcze szansę na dwa dodatkowe szkiełka od Panasa - obiecane 20mm f/1.7 i makro 45mm f/2.8.
No i jeszcze słówko o AF:
"Q. What is the autofocus like?
A. The E-P1's contrast detect AF feels noticeably nippier than, say, the original 14-42 kit lens from the Four Thirds stable when used in live view mode. Is the AF as impressive as Panasonic's Micro Four Thirds implementation - it's difficult to say at this point."
Pewnie cudów nie będzie, ale może lepiej niż pierwsze oceny AF-u z dpreview.
