Camera Overview — Olympus E-330

The Olympus PEN E-PL2 is a Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera built around a 12MP sensor paired with the TruePic V image processor. Sitting in the compact, entry-to-enthusiast tier, it offers a solid feature set for photographers stepping up from smartphone or point-and-shoot shooting. The camera's ISO range runs from 200 to 6400, giving reasonable flexibility across a variety of lighting conditions.

One of its more notable inclusions for its class is sensor-shift in-body image stabilization, which works across any compatible lens attached to the Micro Four Thirds mount. Autofocus is handled by a contrast-detection system covering a 324-area Digital ESP layout, which is well-suited to deliberate, composed shooting rather than fast-action work. The 3-inch LCD display offers 460,000 dots of resolution for composing and reviewing images.

On the creative side, five color profiles — Standard, Vivid, Muted, Portrait, and Monochrome — provide some in-camera customization without post-processing. Video capability tops out at 720p at 30fps, which reflects the camera's era and positions it as primarily a stills-focused tool. Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards, and connectivity includes USB and HDMI output.

The plastic body carries no weather sealing.
