Olympus Pen EP3 is the fifth iteration of its PEN Micro Four Thirds line. The camera is versatile and manages to do many things but at the same time keeps it original PEN-like retro-style body. The camera has a 12.3MP sensor which plays well with the Olympus' Zuiko lens. It will shoot up to ISO 12,800 and will capture videos at 1080i (60fps). Additionally, the camera has a new processing chip (TruePic VI), the camera can check focus 120 times per second. From previous Olympus PEN models, speed wasn't its strongest point and this is something the guys at Olympus have improved. The shutter is also faster at 60 milliseconds.
The LCD is new, with a newly improved higher resolution touch screen, which can be used to focus in the same way as an iPhone and to control the camera's various functions. Also the lenses, are also newly improved which are a Zuiko Digital ED 12m ƒ2.0 and the Zuiko Digital ED 45mm ƒ1.8 (90mm equivalent).
The EP3 will be available from £699 with either the Zuiko Digital ED 14-42mm II R ƒ3.5/5.6 zoom or the Zuiko Digital ED 17mm ƒ2.8 prime.
