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: 203003641) 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-aperture lens for exceptional low-light performance

• 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 and weather resistance

Introductory Paragraph The Olympus E-20P is the definitive choice for the digital purist. This specific unit (S/N: 203003641) features the legendary 9-36mm Zuiko 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: 203003641) shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with its professional age. The 9-36mm f/2.0 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. The battery compartment and dual card slots are clean.

Specialist Note "The E-20P is a beast of a camera that still feels like a 'real' tool in your hands. What I love about this S/N: 203003641 is that f/2.0 lens; it’s absolutely massive and lets in a staggering amount of light for a sensor of this size. The build quality is pure old-school Olympus—it feels like it was milled from a solid block of metal. It’s also one of the few digital cameras that can sync with a flash at almost any shutter speed thanks to its global shutter-like CCD. It’s a rugged, honest, and highly capable digital body that proves that 5 megapixels through world-class glass is better than 20 megapixels through plastic. It’s a joy to use for anyone who appreciates fine Japanese engineering."
