The Olympus Pen E-P1 announced on 16 June 2009 is Olympus Corporation's first camera that adheres to the Micro Four Thirds (MFT) system design standard. It retailed for $899 at the time ($1200 adjusted for inflation), I bought it for $50 on eBay (got very lucky).

It actually costs $50… more every time a CZcamsr talks about it
I know… 🤦♂️ mpb etc probably track these YT’s
On eBay it’s $100 used and $180 mint now….which is crazy.
@@333_studios ive been looking at this camera and the photo samples, NO WAY is it worth the hype its currently at. You can ALMOST afford a sony a6000 for the current price.
Absolute belter of a video thank you! 📸✨
Very nice video. I bought a Nos E-P1 in 2022, combined with the 7Artisan 18/6,3 it makes my daily street combo. Love it. Regards
These shots look great! Really like how you put this together 🙌🔥
This was such a cool video! Opened my eyes to the world of "vintage" photography
New subscriber here! I'm using an EPL1 and it's an amazing little everyday camera. The colours in the jpeg and raw, even the noise in high ISO it's beautiful. I'm using that camera a lot for artistic work (not for working on a event) and one amazing thing it's the 3 axis stabilizer in 2010... I can't believe that, I'm using all kind of lenses in a extremely cheap mirrorless. Great work! Saludos desde Argentina
I would love to try more older Olympus PEN mirrorless if I can get them at a good deal! Thanks for subscribing :)
Very nice review. 5 or 6 years ago, I found an EPL1 at a pawn shop for around 25 bucks. Came with a battery and lens. I could not pass it up and it works perfectly.
wow love the colour
a bit random but what brand are your black boots? they look nice
Hi bro, can you help me how to set up the MF lens on the Olympus EP-1. I ordered the 7Artisan 25mm f1.8 lens.
Very interesting video, thank you.
Very cool video! I was recently on the hunt for more pocket-friendly compact digital camera. My main shooter is a Fuji xt3, and I wanted to stick to that system. I settled on the xa2 which I scored for about USD $250. I get to use all my lenses on that little guy. The 16 mp Bayer sensor is sufficiently different from the xtrans in my xt3.
Great video and a pretty cool steal (for now lol). I'll keep an eye on your channel!
Thanks for watching! I haven't had the chance to use the Fuji system yet, as I've mostly been within the M43 system. I know the X series almost has a cult following. Those older models still tend to be pretty pricey too. Do you have a suggestion for an easy entry if I ever want that Fuji experience?
@@KenDFilms lol yup, I won't deny the cultish following. For an affordable entry point into the x system, your options are pretty limited because of the current craze. I'd say the consumer oriented A series, from a-1 through to 3. Prices aren't yet insane for these ones. They get knocked for their inferior build quality which is fair. The build on my xt3 is leagues higher than my xa2. But what you get is the colour science and essentially the same sensor that goes into the xe and even the xpro lines. It's the stock Bayer version of the sensor and not the fancy Fuji xtrans upgrade, as I'm sure my fellow Fuji shooters will be quick to point out. But that distinction doesn't seem to be that discernable, especially since you'll get the core Fuji simulation filters anyway with the lower line. You could always pair it with the ttartisan 27mm f2.8 with af or save more and get a manual focus ttartisan.
Another consideration is selling up within the system. I got a used x100s before demand went totally crazy. After having fun with it for over a year, I flipped it and it funded the lion's share of the cost for my xt3 and Fuji 23mm f2 weather sealed and af lens.
The value on my xt3 has since gone up notably. Though I'm hard pressed to sell it to fund another upgrade. I love it for the time being, and it's more camera than my abilities as a hobbyist. Still, I am pretty curious about their medium format line... Especially the GFX 50R... It'll have to wait, as that jump means committing to new lenses, and investing more out of pocket cash, when I should be just getting out there and snapping more pics with my existing gear.
This is very helpful. Thank you!@@junaidmalik1809
These older ML cameras are the best. I picked up a Panasonic GF1 (similar to it's sibling the GM1 and many of the Olympus cameras from the same time) for about $70 used with less than 1000 shots on the shutter. Great camera for just carrying around with you. Now I just need to find some lenses for it. My only concern is that some of the newest lenses may not work with the body as it's last firmware update was from about 2010-2011 even though I think the m4/3 lens spec is pretty open and others have told me most lenses should work regardless of age.
I've been a Panasonic user for almost a decade now, my main gear now is the Lumix S5ii. I'd love to explore more of the older Panasonic mirrorless. I almost bought a G1, but it felt a little too bulky for me. I'll look into the GF1 if I can find a good deal on it. Sadly I sold most of my newer M43 lenses when I upgraded to full frame. But I'm actively looking for small lenses that still make the whole camera pocketable. Thanks for your comment!
The 14-42 lens that was the kit with the g7 is awesome for the price.
having a ep2 now, but got IS! problem. sure it still able to take picture but it's weird
very inspiring review! I'm considering this camera now, may I ask what kind of adapter you used to make the pentax 110 lense work?
Thanks! It was the "Fotasy Pentax 110 Auto Lens to M4/3 Adapter" if you search it on Amazon.
what microphone are you using.. damnnn so good.. or maybe its just your voice.
Thank you! it's the RODE VideoMic GO II, with some slight audio adjustments on Premiere.
That's great, did you set it up on your camera which you film in the video and just project your voice into it... am just curious the voice to video works.
Do you have any tips for manual focus with the LCD screen? I have an EPL-1 and got my first manual lens - TT Artisans 25mm f2. The magnification feature helps, but still very challenging outdoor in sunlight.
It's always gonna be a challenge without a viewfinder and using on a LCD screen that's not bright enough. In bright sunlight, the only thing that really helps me is shooting is something like f/8. Less shallow DOF means it's easier to focus. The image is usually sharper too at f/5.6 or above
Cheapest I can find I’d close to $500. No idea where you get those prices
Cheapest one in mint condition I can find on eBay right now is $78, with $25 shipping from Japan.
HOLY SHITKEN WHATS UP
Walmart Eason Chan (im Asian and you two really look alike,pls spare me some mercy,internet people)
I would say a lot of people had this camera, but they want to get rid of it, cause they don´t know how to use it properly. I m sure people with enough time and knowlegde can reach professional results with this precious camera.....
$50? lol, not in australia, thats for sure. cheapest bodies are sitting around the $200, while some of the usual japanese sellers have some listed at close to $1k. I do enjoy watching these videos as they pop up, but since covid and then the digicam craze, there's now no such thing as a cheap camera. Relatively cheap, yes, but not cheap.
I got really lucky I guess! The lowest prices I can find online are around $110 USD now.
lol please lmk where@@KenDFilms
