Digital Cameras Macro Capability
Need advice on Olympus Pen E-P1?
I am a amateur photographer, before I was looking for a superzoom prosumer camera, particularly interested in Canon SX10 (20X zoom). Then out come this attractive Olympus Pen which is small in size but have all capabilities of a DSLR. Since zooming is an important factor to me, can any one enlighten me what zooming capabilities does the two kit lenses (M. ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 14-42mm 1:3.5-5.6 lens and M. ZUIKO DIGITAL 17mm 1:2.8 Pancake lens) possess? How far can they zoom, ie, are they equivalent to a PNS camera 2X, 3X, 4X or?
If they arent gonna get me far in terms of zooming, do help recommend a zoom lens (not too pricely ones pls, just good enough to start with) to go along with this camera.
Also, would this camera be good for macro pics? Thanks.
You won’t get anything like you want with a Pen… go back to the SX-10. To get lenses equal to the range of the SX-10 on the Pen will cost you much more, make the camera much larger and heavier, and more difficult to handle.

Tamron AFB003NII-700 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 DI-II VC LD (IF) MACRO for Nikon ( AFB003NII-700 / AFB003NII700 ) $579.95 The Tamron AFB003NII-700 / AFB003NII700 AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di-II VC LD Aspherical (IF) Macro Lens is a 15x high power zoom lens designed exclusively for digital SLR cameras using the more compact (APS-C) digital size image sensors. The focal length of this lens is equivalent to approx. 27-405mm in 35mm format. Designed as an “all-in-one” lens, it will meet almost all photographic opportunities without changing lenses. The VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism allows the use of shutter speeds that are much slower than otherwise possible, with no perceptible increase in image blur. It automatically detects movement of the camera and compensates for camera shake when shooting a moving object. This feature is a must in a lens with this long of a focal length. The 18-270mm lens, made for the Nikon digital SLR system, incorporates a motor built into the lens itself, which gives it the capability to autofocus with all Nikon DSLR cameras (including the D40 and D40x). In addition, with the motor built into the lens, focusing will be quieter and more responsive. |
