Olympus Camedia E-20P with 9-36mm f/2.0-2.4 ED Lens

Olympus Camedia E-20P with 9-36mm f/2.0-2.4 ED Lens - Good Condition | Digital Compact Camera | High-Resolution 5.0MP Professional Bridge Camera

The Olympus Camedia E-20P (S/N: 203022718) is a professional-grade digital bridge camera that was far ahead of its time, designed to offer the handling and optical performance of a high-end DSLR in a fixed-lens body. Featuring a high-resolution 5.0 Megapixel CCD sensor, the E-20P is famous for its unique "Interlaced Scan" technology, which allows for ultra-high shutter speeds when using flash. The centerpiece of this camera is the extraordinary 9-36mm (35-140mm equivalent) f/2.0-2.4 ED glass aspherical lens. This "Super Bright" optic is fully multi-coated to eliminate flare and ghosting, providing a level of sharpness and low-light capability that few modern compacts can match. With its robust magnesium alloy chassis and true optical TTL (Through-The-Lens) viewfinder, the E-20P remains a cult favorite for studio and macro photographers.

Key Features

• High-resolution 5.0 Megapixel CCD sensor for rich, film-like color and detail

• Ultra-bright f/2.0-2.4 wide-angle lens for exceptional performance in low light

• ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass and Aspherical elements for edge-to-edge sharpness

• Dual-position 1.8-inch tilting LCD monitor for creative high and low-angle framing

• Professional 4-mode TTL autofocus system with manual focus ring for tactile control

• Dual media slots supporting both CompactFlash (CF) and SmartMedia cards

• Rugged magnesium alloy construction with professional-grade ergonomics

Introductory Paragraph The Olympus E-20P is the definitive choice for the digital purist who values optical excellence above all else. This specific unit (S/N: 203022718) features the legendary 9-36mm Zuiko ED optics, which remain some of the finest glass ever permanently attached to a digital body. Unlike most bridge cameras that use an electronic viewfinder, the E-20P features a true optical prism, giving you a clear, lag-free view of your subject. The f/2.0 maximum aperture at the wide end allows for a shallow depth-of-field and beautiful background blur (bokeh) that is typically only possible with expensive interchangeable lenses. Whether you are capturing a detailed studio portrait or a high-contrast landscape, the E-20P provides the mechanical precision and "CCD color science" that made the Camedia E-series a professional benchmark.

Condition Report Good condition. The camera body (S/N: 203022718) is fully functional but shows cosmetic signs of use. Notably, the rubberized grip has degraded ("slecht rubber"), which is a common characteristic for this model due to its age; it may feel sticky or show wear, but this does not affect the camera's internal performance. The 9-36mm f/2.0-2.4 ED lens is optically clear, free from fungus, haze, or significant scratches. The motorized zoom and manual focus rings operate smoothly. The tilting LCD screen and the optical TTL viewfinder are bright and functional. All buttons, the command dial, and the internal pop-up flash have been tested and are operational.

Specialist Note "The E-20P is a powerhouse that still delivers stunning results. What I love about this S/N: 203022718 is that massive f/2.0 ED lens—it lets in a staggering amount of light and produces a very distinctive, organic image quality. While the rubber grip shows its age, the magnesium alloy skeleton underneath is indestructible. It’s one of the few digital cameras that can sync with a flash at almost any shutter speed thanks to its unique CCD design. It’s a rugged, honest tool that proves that 5 megapixels through world-class glass is more than enough for professional-grade prints. It’s a fantastic entry point for anyone wanting to experience the peak of early 2000s Japanese optical engineering."
