#olympus pen

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. The PEN EP-3 is relatively small and light and can pass of as an over-sized point-and-shoot camera. The PEN EP-3 feels very solid -- the body is made mostly out metal or aluminum alloy with a removable rubber grip in the front (you can see the big screw there). The design still resembles the old PEN series. Read more in our articles including "Olympus PEN E-P3 Review" and "Olympus PEN EP-3 in the flesh, coming soon!".
