For example, if I have a 12-35mm on the GX7, I would want to have either a 7-14mm on my E-PL or a 75mm f1. Creates the look of a miniature diorama by enhancing color and contrast, and blurring the periphery to distort distance perception. A Slide Rec View function is provided to play back immediately after shooting, a slideshow of the pictures with the various Art Filters applied. The camera incorporates a new short release time lag mode in addition to the super high-speed FAST AF system.

It handles almost anything quite nicely and you can definitely use it as a main camera when you need it. There's now a dual-axis electronic level that will help you ensure your horizons aren't crooked, and vertical lines don't converge.

Even though some folks may stick their chin up at the fact that the E-PL6 does not have a 5-axis stabilization system, the 3-axis system seemed to work extremely well, as I was able to get some nice low-light shots handheld, even with a lens that only opened to f/3. It's limiting and frustrating sometimes, but it makes you approach photography with a sense of minimalism. The non-pancake lens used for this test gave the camera just enough depth that it was a very tight fit in and out of standard front pockets. You can refer to that if you want details, but the short version is that it's quite sharp, but limited by the narrow f/3.

It has the in body stabilizer like every other Olympus MFTs but it's a bit crippled; I think it only improves your shutter speed for a stop or two stops, so it's not really like the one in the flagship OM-Ds. However, to make things better, you can enable the Super Control Panel from the menu and you can quick access the settings that you need to change without going to the menu. There is a rotating dial that you can use to change aperture or shutter speed depending on the mode which then can also be used to adjust exposure compensation. The imager AF used in mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras features better recognition capability of the subject than an AF based on phase difference detection.Third party lens manufacturers also increase number of their offering and new manufacturers also jump in the wagon as the popularity of the system increases. Eliminates darker areas in the image to daringly represent bright color tones on a white canvas, adding soft contours to express a warm and bright world. Olympus E-PL6 has a Micro Four Thirds lens mount and currently there are 123 native lenses available for this mount. These include a Short Release Time Lag mode, ISO LOW setting, interval Shooting, Time lapse movies and a Level guide. Combined with the FAST AF system, users can take pictures instantaneously simply by touching the Live View screen.

If you are getting into digital photography and want an interchangeable-lens camera, the E-PL6 is a great entry point, as it offers great image quality while allowing the acquisition of some sparkling Micro Four Thirds lenses for your collection as you grow as a photographer. This is a wide-angle lens equivalent to a single focal length of 30mm (35mm film camera equivalent) composed of three glass elements in three groups.Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. You know you are bringing your smartphone already, but you know you don’t want to be limited to the smartphone camera.

The differentiating features on the E-PL6 include reduced shutter lag, a new 'low' ISO 100 setting, interval and time-lapse functions, an electronic level, and support for the VF-4 electronic viewfinder. In addition to the existing black color, the Body Cap Lens is now available in white, silver or red to match the OLYMPUS PEN Lite E-PL6's body color.

The same image (Olympus' standard image) is used to calculate the number of storable pictures and file size in each mode. Encloses the reality in front of the camera in flat, softly illuminated bubble, floating serenely in its own world, like a distant memory of a childhood landscape.

If I have a 14-140mm on the GX7, I would want to have either a 7-14mm or the 100-300mm on the E-PL6.
