We’ve got some hands-on time with the upcoming Olympus PEN EP-3 back in Hongkong and based on some very reliable sources, it will eventually land in the Philippines this October.
Olympus did a lot of upgrades on this new version and, based on initial impressions, performance and image quality has greatly improved.

I promised the reps not to share any more details except for the release date in the Philippines (which is like 2 weeks from now). Will post an update once we get official word (like pricing, lenses and availability).
I asked the local guy in HK how much it was selling there and he gave me a figure of around Php40k, which includes the kit lens.
ayus old school ang design! namiss ko tuloy SLR namin na luma
Para siyang point and shoot na hindi?
what’s good about olympus is the classic design and durability. you can see a lot of film photographers roaming around luneta using olympus 35 rd.the model is almost 4 decades old but still functional
After the New 5N and Nex 7 was announced, I suddenly lost all interest in any other evil cam. Especially smaller sensor ones like m4/3s.
