Thread: Photos of new PEN E-P3

As usual 43rumors site:

Wolfie,
Do your research, find better photos and I'll move you to the front page.
You are now, should except this mission, the official Pen 3 investigator.

It's all down to time zones - you guys are all asleep when the fun is happening!

But I am certainly becoming more and more keen on getting one of these new PEN models.

If the rumors are true, they have answered the major objection from day one of the system:
Focus speed - with a new series lens, the claim is that Oly have toppled Panny from the AF speed throne.
This improvement extends to previous generation M43lenses, but they wont achieve same ultimate performance as new lenses.

Finally, one of my peeves, they have put in a focus assist light (see the light on front view shot below hot shoe) - I have, and always will - hate flash strobing as a range finding technique.

I'm happy with 12 mp, especially if DR, noise are improved.

Hope the new EVF is cheaper and compatible with previous models.

Still want a WR body and lens!!!

it's not love at first sight here ...

It's love for you Paul, ya just don't know it yet. Wait till Wolfie sniffs out more info and photos...

looks like a great camera but I'm a little sad that the design is moving away from the classic look. Or rather that it isn't evolving the classic look. I still want a camera that has all the features of this one but the form factor of a slightly smaller OM4. The E-P1 was nearly there.

Here it is:

suppose there will be more about the e-pm1 and e-pl3 soon

Any way to find a rear end shot.....?
Your doing good so far...

wolfie, thanks so much for being our point person!

Yep, once the rumor sites get their hands on the press kit, they eek it out little by little .
