Ok, Im not a great photographer, I mean I dont know a lot about cameras, I usually go for 'point and shoot' type cameras but I initially got this camera purely for the look of it as its so cool. I love the Retro look but its more than just a good looking camera. This is weighty (good quality), not plastic like a lot of cameras and also takes great pictures. I love the features such as the tilt/selfie screen as well as a lot of features that I keep coming across. This camera is continuing to surprise me. So glad I bought this.

Cámara estupenda: cuerpo y objetivo metálicos de buena calidad, fotos luminosas y con opciones suficientes para un principiante, pesa y ocupa poco (algo más grande que una compacta) para llevarla a todas partes. Precio muy bueno. Entrega muy rápida. Muy contento con la compra.

Stupenda

Regalata alla mia ragazza per avvicinarla al mondo della fotografia, senza l’ingombro di una reflex. Questa macchina è stata la risposta PERFETTA. Estetica estremamente gradevole, dettagli curati, tracolla sottile in pelle bianca inclusa. Oltre ad essere una fotocamera di prim’ordine, è un accessorio molto gradevole anche alla vista.

Venendo al lato tecnico, ci sono decine di recensioni esaustive su siti specializzati quindi rimando a quelli.

Muy buena cámara de fotos compacta, la he estrenado de viaje y la verdad es que hace unas fotos estupendas. Además bajandote una aplicación te puedes pasar directamente las fotos de la cámara al smartphone sin necesidad de cables.

I changed out my canon 6d with prime lenses to this as it was lighter and handier to carry about to take photos of my own family. Wasn't sure what to think as I was used to years of pro cameras but I really like it! I changed out the lens for the Panasonic four Thirds 25mm 1.7 which is the equivalent of 50mm lens on a full frame camera like my 6d. It's much better than the kit lens and a cheaper price than the olympus version. I love being able to wirelessly transfer my photos to my phone straight away. The one thing I don't like so much is that there's no audio port to attach a Mic and record videos with sound. Pictures however are great! Can't complain, it does the job and I'm taking way more photos of my family because it's light enough to carry about everywhere but also much easier to get my photos with no more need to plug it into the computer to do so!

Nice camera, but possibly not for enthusiast photographers

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 31, 2017

I bought this camera as a gift from my wife. She was always a keen photographer but lacked confidence with SLRs. This camera is a good compromise. It gives most of the functionality you expect from an SLR but in an easy to use package. That said, for the price, there are cameras with better features that take better photos. An enthusiast is probably going to be frustrated. I shoot with a Sony A99ii and a RX100iii, so I find the Olympus to be lacking in comparison, but that's probably not a fair comparison.

The micro four thirds form factor can deliver stunning results, and Olympus make very good cameras. With this particular camera, some of the price being paid is for the cosmetics of the camera, which are important to many customers. Dare I say it, this camera is probably targeted more at the female demographic where a camera has to have the right aesthetic as a fashion accessory as well as a photographic device. So, with that in mind, if you're looking for a micro four thirds Olympus in this price bracket that has more functionality, consider the OM-D EM-10.

The E-PL8 doesn't have an electronic viewfinder - there is an accessory viewfinder for the hotshoe that is an optional extra. There is a hotshoe mini flash included, but no built-in flash. So, no viewfinder with flash photography.

The EM-10 has 5 axis image stabilisation, whereas the E0PL8 has 3 axis. Coming from Sony which has excellent in-body stabilisation, I don't think the 3 axis system is that great, but it's better than nothing.

Video seems to be a bit of an afterthought, so if that's important to you, I'd look elsewhere.

If you're looking for a stylish camera that takes great photos, offers m4/3 lens choices and has plenty of creative auto modes then the E-PL8 may be for you. Just bear in mind that if you're serious about photography, you may outgrow the camera.
