General information

16MP Live MOS Image Sensor

Featuring a 16 megapixel Line MOS sensor, the E-PL6 is optimized to maximize the performance of all mZuiko digital lenses in any shooting condition. Improvements to the sensitivity and read-out speed of the existing sensor makes shooting and Full HD movie recording possible.

General information

TruePic VI Image Processor

TruePic VI Image Processor, designed specifically for the Olympus PEN, features Real Color Technology for improved color reproduction (especially colors such as emerald green, yellow, and gold) and color gradation. The faster processor also allows for a shorter recovery time between shots.

General information

In-Body Image Stabilization

Say goodbye to blurry images. Olympus’ in-body image stabilization technology makes it possible to use any Micro Four Thirds lenses (or Four Thirds lens), from wide-angle to telephoto, for perfectly clear, crisp photos no matter what the shooting situation, even in low light!

General information

FAST AF

The F.A.S.T (Frequency Acceleration Sensor Technology) AF System is able to focus at an incredible speed and offers 35 separate focus areas that are spread over the image area. Four different AF area sizes can be selected - the smallest of which makes pin-point AF accuracy possible on even the smallest of macro subjects. Selectable 3x3 groups within the 35 areas are especially effective when you need to match the AF area pattern to your particular subject. And with the improved time lag of only 0.044 seconds on the E-PL6* instant photo opportunities will not get way from you even if you are photographing a subject moving at high speeds.

* When pressing the shutter halfway with IS Off. Battery consumption will increase and the number of shots that can be taken reduced by about 60 shots (CIPA standard).

General information

Touch AF Shutter

An intuitive touch panel is used for the rear monitor and can be operated with only a few light and comfortable touches. On traditional cameras, adjusting the focal point was difficult however this panel makes it easy by letting you simply touch the screen, making shooting the way you want simple and effortless. The construction of the monitor reduces reflections, and along with the anti-fingerprint coating, makes it easier to view vivid images on the monitor even in bright outdoor conditions or dark indoor conditions.

General information

Equipped with ISO LOW (Equivalent to ISO 100)

The E-PL6 is now equipped with ISO LOW mode (equivalent to ISO 100). In combination with a high-speed 1/4000 sec. shutter, a large-diameter lens can be used at maximum aperture even in bright daylight for background defocusing effects.

General information

12 Art Filters and 7 Art Filter Effects

Twelve in-camera Art Filters are enhanced by new filter variations, art effects and bracketing. Photographers can use Art Filters in all shooting modes as well as filming HD movies.

The Twelve in-camera Art Filters (Pop Art, Soft Focus, Pale and Light Color, Light Tone, Grainy Film, Pin Hole, Diorama, Gentle Sepia, Cross Process, Key Line, Dramatic Tone and NEW Watercolor) are enhanced by new filter variations, art effects and bracketing. Also, the E-PL6 now features the Monochrome Art Filter Effect, where the Picture Tone effect can change the color from normal monotone to sepia, blue, purple, and green.

General information

Interval Shooting with Time Lapse Video

Interval shooting allows 1-99 shots, from 1 second to 24 hour time interval to easily shoot a series of pictures. The E-PL6 also has a valuable feature that easily converts a series of pictures taken using interval shooting into a time-lapse movie (Max 10 seconds movie at 99 shots).

General information

3" LCD Screen Flip-Up Screen

The flip, touch screen rotates 170 degrees upward and 65 degrees downward. In addition to low angles and high angles, this feature makes self portraits easy and fun. The E-PL6 is designed to optimize the touch screen LCD and was introduced to operate the MENU display with a new simple operation instead of a mode dial. The E-PL6’s Touchscreen reacts quickly with the slightest touch and can focus by touch, even if the subject is not in the center.

5 out of 5 eggsAn Oopps gone good

Pros: Small light weight, Great pictures with image stabilization, does video, can do high asa for low light.

Cons: Does not have WIFI. That can be remedy with a wifi SD card, then use microSD memory.

Other Thoughts: I originally bought a refurb laptop that hadn't properly refurbed. I was given a account credit for replacement, that was fair. Unfortunately there wasn't another laptop in my price range. I did spot an ad for this camera and the price looked good, and I had been thinking of updating my camera. This camera was all I'd hoped for and I haven't seen a better price. Next I'm going to look at picture frames.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat camera! This is a insane deal for 299.99. This camera takes fantastic pictures with nice realistic color.

Pros: - It is compact and have a good balance while you are holding it in your hand;
- It is full with features so a m4/3 beginner such I am will have to learn how to use everything.
- 3 axis image stabilization is fantastic

Cons: - none so far.

Other Thoughts: For many people who want to move up to a great high quality camera system, for the price , flexibility (excellent selection of lens, flashes, wifi memory cards and other aftermarket accessorizes) and image quality the e-pl6 will satisfy almost any need.

5 out of 5 eggsIQ par excellent

Pros: This is a steal even at regular price. The earlier model is selling for more. IBIS so you can use almost any lens ever made with an adapter.

Cons: None for what it is and price.

Other Thoughts: This is a great on the go camera. It will even fit in a large pocket.
