#Olympus exit

The photography world is losing a giant, as Olympus has announced that they are exiting the camera industry. As a result, Olympus will be carving out the Imaging business and will be acquired by Japan Industrial Partners (JIP). First saw the Olympus PEN E-P3 back in September during our trip to Hong Kong. Prior to using the Olympus EP-3, I've never had any inclination towards micro 4/3 cameras. That perception was changed when I used the Olympus PEN E-P3. This unit was sent to us by the local distributor of Olympus to test out and I've brought it on several trips both local and abroad. I was also lucky to be in the company of a long-time Olympus user so I had a few lessons on some of the unique features of the camera. As for image quality, I'd leave it to the sample photos I took using the Olympus PEN to speak for themselves as I am already pretty impressed with the output.
