Great addition to the Olympus XZ-2

Bought this through Revain and am very happy with the VF-3 used on my XZ-2. Having a viewfinder for your eyes is useful for two reasons: 1 - using a camera's LCD in bright streetlight is always tiring; 2 - If you need reading glasses, it is difficult to use the LCD screen because you need to wear reading glasses. Every time you take a picture, the VF-3 eliminates both the glare and reading/glasses limitations of LCD screens. I am very glad that I bought this accessory for the XZ-2. I've read…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • New competitors have arrived

Turned my E-PL5 into a serious kit

I really wanted an Olympus OM-D E-M5. However, cost was the main hurdle (don't you hate that?). After a long research I decided on the E-PL5 as an alternative. Smaller, lighter, very similar innards (and on sale!) - the biggest difference was the E-PL5's lack of an electronic viewfinder. So I bought my E-PL5. But I'm very happy with it. I found I really missed the EVF in some shooting situations. The tilting LCD screen on the back of the camera is excellent and very easy to use in most cases…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Very handy device

Let me start by saying that I have been using Oly digital cameras for many years and I still treasure my 2020z, 5060 and three DSLRs. A bundle of Olya, Sigma and Tokin lenses (used with adapters). I have a great little Panny Lumix with a Leica lens and good zoom, but no external flash and not good manual controls. I have a Pentax W80 for many things I do in canoes and outdoors - few useful controls. Of all the cameras, I liked the 5060 best and hoped it would be improved even further for manual

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Vanish
