Imaging Resource Review - Strange Blurring

Gnat — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 02:33:58 +0000

I've studiously studied each and every review I can find of the new Olympus E-P1. To say I want one of these cameras is an understatement.

Recently Imaging Resource finished their review of the E-P1. They took some extra time to deal with and thoroughly test an image blurring finding. In all honesty, it is the first I've heard of this in any of the reviews. I've studied Flickr photos but since I don't do large blow ups nor do I pixel peep, I have not seen this either. It is an interesting read.

One note: Just in case you don't read the whole article, please note that the firmware update V1.1 appears to improve this issue.
