Olympus E-PL8 tested by Photoreview

Share

e-pl8

Photoreview published their full E-PL8 review:

Aside from its new body design and a few minor tweaks, there’s not much difference between the E-PL7 and E-PL8. It’s difficult to find local stores stocking the E-PL7, although a few off-shore re-sellers have it listed for between AU$520 and $550. The E-PL8 is selling in the same stores for roughly $200 more, which is close to the asking price for this camera in local stores.
Serious photographers would probably be better off buying the OM-D E-M10 Mark II, which has a high-resolution EVF and SLR-like design. Although it’s not designed for shooting selfies, the EM-10 II can do everything else the E-PL8 does, uses the same battery with the same shooting capacity and weighs only 16 grams more. If you don’t choose the Limited Edition kit, it’s available locally with the same 14-42mm power zoom lens for between AU$700 and AU$750.

I think the problem of the E-PL8 is it’s the in house competition: You get the E-PL7 with kit lens for $150 less and the E-M1oII with two(!) lenses for just $150 more.
