Olympus E-PL2 CES 2011


The Olympus E-PL2 succeeds the E-PL1 launched in October 2009 and targets consumers who are looking to upgrade from point and shoot cameras.

Like the E-PL1, the E-PL2 aims to deliver DSLR quality photography with point and shoot simplicity.

The E-PL2 retains the 4:3, 17.3 x 13.0 mm sensor of the E-PL1 but features improved ISO sensitivity range of 200-6400 against ISO 200-1600 on E-PL1.

It comes with a m14-42mm f3.5/5.6 zoom lens (28mm-84mm equivalent) that features high-speed, silent autofocus during still shooting and high definition (HD) video capture.

The E-PL2 has a bigger 3-inch, 460,000 dot LCD than the 2.7-inch, 230K on the E-PL1.

Its Live Guide II lets you preview HD video and still image effects on the LCD screen to achieve the perfect result effortlessly.

It has more and improved art filters.

Body design has been made more ergonomic body design.

A Face Detection with iDetect feature automatically makes a person's eye the focus point of the image. The E-PL2 further reduces the chance of blurred subjects in images by recognizing up to eight faces, tracking them within the image area, and automatically focusing and optimizing exposure for sharp portraits.

Other than the kit lens, you can choose from m17mm f2.8 lens (34mm equivalent), the super wide-angle zoom ED m9-18mm f4.0-5.6 lens (18-36mm equivalent), the high-power wide to telephoto zoom ED m14-150mm f4.0-5.6 lens (28-300mm equivalent), the wide zoom ED m40-150mm F4.0-5.6, or the super telephoto ED m75-300mm f4.8-5.6 (35mm equivalent 150–600mm).

The camera is priced at $600 with the kit lens.

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers Katy Perry continues working with the producers of GHD hair dryers and GHD hair care products: the singer once again demonstrated her luxurious hair in a fresh advertising campaign – this time she had the image of a diva from “the golden Hollywood” era (the pop-diva had already had the image of a hippie, a disco girl, and a mermaid). Luxurious dresses, bright makeup and a small portion of theatricality – one can immediately see that she is a star! The shooting was run by Ellen von Unwerth, who preferred to focus on restrained sensuality and the interplay of tones rather than on bright colors (the latter are always excessive with Katy) and presented black-and-white portraits of Perry to the public. The girl really looks perfect in the pictures : whether she is playing chess, recovering after a tiring concert or just getting ready to appear on stage. But whose merit is this: that of the photographer, the heroine, or maybe Photoshop?
