Olympus E-P2 Features & Pictures Get Leaked

Tweet

The Olympus E-P2 Micro Four Thirds camera has been rumored to become official by the end of the year and it looks like later today or very early tomorrow morning it will finally be announced. Like in most cases with hot new gadgets, the official pictures and specs have been leaked before launch.

So let’s see what we have here, shall we? The new Micro Four Thirds from Olympus is going to bring you a set of new features which the E-P1 lacked. AF tracking and an electronic viewfinder are two of the new features the E-P2 will have to offer. The camera isn’t all that different from its predecessor as you’ll find some more than familiar specs in the list below. But the E-P2 is a brand new toy which a lot of photographers will want to buy. Priced at around $1,400 this Micro Four Thirds isn’t going to be available for just any budget. The price, although not official yet, is said to include both the EVF and the 14-42 zoom lens.

And here’s what the Olympus E-P2 will have to offer:

• 12-megapixel sensor
• Image stabilization system with four EV steps
• 720p HD video recording at 30 fps
• Stereo sound, AF live view
• 8 Art filters for special effects
• AF tracking
• 1.44 million dot electronic viewfinder
• External microphone adapter
• Diorama mode
• Cross Process mode
• i-Enhance function

The camera is supposed to come officially tomorrow, so we will bring you all the updates, if there are any, to the specs sheet leaked above. Don’t get too excited about the E-P2 yet! We have features, pictures and prices but that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll find it in stores before Christmas. In fact the Micro Four Thirds will be available from January 2010 only so you’ll have to use something else to shoot your Christamas’ and New Year’s pictures.
