The Amazing Olympus PEN E-PL1 Camera

Check out the making-of as well in YouTube.
The TVC was shot with several E-P2.
I'm ashamed that my video made with E-P2 is not 1/100 as good as it. :-[

That was a good video. Neither of these scenes was shot with the camera handheld however, and all of them have complex lighting control.

I saw that video too--it is indeed impressive and is bound to give us Pen fans a severe case of inferiority complex.

But it certainly shows what our equipment is capable of.

Olympus has the most commercials for their cameras of any brand that I have ever seen.

I'm not a native English speaker.
I don't get what you mean.
Google won't help either.
Would you help explaining a bit?

I'm afraid I didn't quite understand that comment either.

RE: Boyoyoing

Sorry, it's a phonetic spelling of a sound of a pretty obscure reference to the 90's MTV cartoon Bevis and Butthead. Basically, what I meant to say is "wow, that was pretty cool!"

Wow, the things you can learn on this forum....

I got it!!! As I posted on another forum a while ago after I saw the commercial-
"I watched the commercial three or four times. Somewhere around the four viewing I actually noticed the camera."

oly has the best wit humor and coolness of the camera ads around , from the humor of this ad, to the kevin spacey vignettes of the pen paridigm
i think oly is ahead of the curve in its machines and its promotion of them

It's better than watching Avril Lavigne prance around for Canon....

Yep,
The video quality is quite amazing & very easy to use!

Video quality = excellent
Overall video experience = somewhat less than excellent, what with the focus hunt and AF noise on the soundtrack. I'm bracing myself for the $700 hit to buy the Oly 14-150.... (which ironically, is what it would cost to buy a decent HD camcorder, which I thought I could avoid buying after getting the PEN.... :-[)

In most cases that I've taken video I just turn off the sound anyways, DSLRs may have good image quality for video, but the sound is a far leap for good quality. Besides I like to mix in songs to my videos (although I never actually have).

Centauri27 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 06, 2010, 08:33:17 AM »

That is true. You'll notice that most professional-looking videos have a music track overlayed, and I often do that with my videos in post production. But there are times when you need the sound and I was really looking forward to the benefits of the hi-fi stereo sound provided by the E-P1.
