Olympus PEN E-P3 12.3 MP Live MOS Micro Four Thirds Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera with MSC M. Zuiko Digital ED 14-42mm II R f3.5/5.6 Zoom Lens
I bought this camera after backpacking around the world with "just" Nikon D40 digital SLR that I bought for only $ 420 - less than half the price of the new Olympus EI-P3, the first film I shot with Nikon SLR cameras out. We can be just as good as those of the E-P3 and then I bought my E-P3? Due to the weight. I spent all day lugging SLR around with them knows what I mean.
Dimensions and weight are the two advantages that the mirrorless camera to an SLR camera, but when you decide to go mirrorless is extremely important to choose the right size - otherwise, you box in a corner with a lens. I chose the form of the Micro Four Thirds (M43) (sponsored by Olympus and Panasonic) for the same reason that you have a wider selection of targets for M43 and for the camera, Sony and Samsung models mirrorless.
M43 is the new Olympus E-P3, Olympus E-PL3 and Panasonic G3, which all have strengths and weaknesses.
Having dealt with the E-P3 and the relatively small size, low cost and its E-PL3, the mall, I discovered that much preferred in the management of more expensive models. It is more solid in hand and a scroll wheel designed to increase the speed of the selected aperture.(I usually shoot in aperture priority mode), I also like the touch screen. Negative value and the lack of a transparent screen (which is E-PL3 and G3).
Select the E-P3 and $ 200 less than the Panasonic G3 G3 is more difficult with integrated electronic viewfinder, bright screen and the sensor is very good. (Better pictures in low light without the need for "sound" grainy) I chose the E-P3, because again, I preferred to manage and more stable. (But I would advise anyone wishing to purchase the E-P3 to determine their G3, Panasonic and Olympus E-PL3).
Olympus PEN E-P3 is significantly better than the previous camera the pen to the highest level of criticism that such models. The major criticism for the slow speed of autofocus (all versions) and weak (all versions) and the lack of flash, integrated (on E-P2).
One area in which the E-P3 has made only limited progress, but what about the quality of the images. It 'the same 12 megapixel sensor used on the old clunker previous pens, which is disappointing given the price of U.S. $ 900 to $ 300 less than the entry-level Canon or Nikon SLR digital take over.
I bought this with a little shadow on my heart that my head and I do not regret my decision. If you have a heart like mine, a photographer, then you should buy this immediately. If you have a brain, rather than theirs, then you may want to consider the pros and cons of the following:.
And many others.
Picture Quality - Olympus camera with a reputation for producing good color, and I was very happy with the color of the camera. Green and yellow colors really come alive.Moreover, despite criticism that the camera performance in low light conditions, I think it works to 1600 until there is too much shade.
Management - there are many, and the camera button. Experienced users will appreciate this. The metal is solid, sturdy feel in the hand. The small camera, while retaining just enough weight for the resumption stable.
Speed - This camera is extremely fast. You can focus and shoot immediately. Olympus says the camera is the fastest in the world. I can not tell if this is true or not. But I can say that the E-P3 is very, very quickly. I can already say that?
Building - metal.
Screen - is very colorful and detailed. Best of all, it is a touch screen. The SLR camera, I think this is the mechanism. But I was surprised to discover that I absolutely love the touch screen. It 's great for shooting in the street, because you can set the focus and shoot in any part of the frame by simply touching the screen. To focus light correctly and almost immediately, Panasonic G3 also features a photograph. But it does not seem to perform so well when I tried it in the store. Too many pictures out of focus, while the G3 Sharp on Mount Olympus.
Targets - all targets achieved by Olympus and Panasonic Micro Four Thirds camera work, this means that the user has a large number of targets to choose from.
IBIS - integrated image stabilization. You can mount the lens on the camera and stablise it - even if the target has not been created to maintain stability. The number of goals that fall into this category. (As the superb Panasonic Leica 25mm F1.4-very good, and the new Panasonic 20 mm F1.7 Olympus 12 mm F2), this
Size - is smaller and lighter than an SLR camera, this factor is important. If you do not have to worry about size or weight, then you should buy a Nikon and Canon SLR cameras at this price shot a little 'better than the E-P3.
