It was mentioned to me this morning that the 17 & 20 may not focus as fast on the Pen 3 as the new 12mm. That's supposed to be lightening fast....

I heard that too, but even though I'm about to sell my GF1, I don't plan on giving up the 20mm. That lens is too good to give up. But, I definately see your point. I plan on keep the kit lens myself.

Press release on EP3 leaked??

43 Rumors | Blog | (FT5) HOT! Full E-P3 leak with specs (from non english website)!

The "press release" also talks about the 12/2 AND 45/1.8 lenses!!!

Woohoo!!

I hate to pour cold water on this topic but....if this is supposed to be the "Pro" model...then they should get back to the drawing boards.

anyone heard of any rumored prices for the wide angle lens their coming out with?

It's not. But from a marketing perspective they'll say anything.

hmm, well, now I've seen it in black, it does seem much more appealing ... though I still don't want or need flash, and unless the allegedly superfast AF is achievable with the adapted 70-300ED or one of the native 300mm zooms, I can't see a reason for me to shell out ...

No need to listen to rumours anymore (am I too late with this?)

[edit: SHORT ANSWER, yes]

Just looked at the Olympus AU site, its all there. E-P3, E-PL3 and E-PM3

I suspect the epl3 could be the second m43 body to compliment my Gh2 - with that flip up screen, faster AF, and the lenses I already own, the Nex may be on it's way out.
