Review on πŸ“Έ Olympus Pen E-PL8 Camera Kit with 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens, White/Black by Ravindra Devaraja

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I definitely do not advise buying, the product disappointed.

You can control it from your phone and transfer photos, but it's a long time, but with videos (short) it's very long, 100 times faster, just connect to a computer. At the same time, if you have a home Wi-Fi, then the camera's Wi-Fi is constantly turned off, and the phone connects to the home automatically. There is a function for tilting the screen for selfies, but when mounted on a tripod or controlled from a phone, it is not available, but what's the point in it then?

Pros
  • Stylish appearance, relatively compact
Cons
  • In general, the camera is not at all happy, the quality is very poor, a little better than the phone, I expected much more. And the price was, mother do not worry, for such an apparatus. I've been using it for a year, one fine day glitches just started, I didn't shoot a video, the filters turned on. Still under warranty, but the service said that there were no problems, they just reinstalled the software, it took a month. Well, it’s like that ((((The standard lens is large compared to the next model, you can’t pick up a normal case. It only works with the lens open. The battery doesn’t last long, and the dumbest thing is that the charging icon has only 2 positions - it’s charged and will turn off now, that is, it useless.
