Olympus E-P1 Body with Panasonic GF1 Lens: Still Slow
Posted in: dslr, lumix, olympus, Panasonic, Today's Chili
The Olympus E-P1 (shown above) is part of a new breed of cameras called Micro Four Thirds: they promise D-SLR-quality images and the blazing focusing speeds of D-SLR cameras, at half the size of D-SLRs. The E-P1 delivered on all points except fast focusing speeds. Olympus tried to improve things with a firmware update, but it didn’t helpshown .
Enter the Panasonic Lumix GF1. It’s the same size as the E-P1 but actually delivers on fast focusing speeds. (Check out the full review on PC Mag.com.)
Just out of curiosity, I decided to slap Panasonic’s lens onto the Olympus camera (above) to see if that might speed up the focusing speed. It didn’t.
