[ BBBBug ] - E-PL3 now available

[cichlid]

I'll answer my own question.... just the 8gb SDHC card.

Just bought the silver one for $90x from my regular dealer.
As usual, Olympus Singapore brought in the most popular colour in the least quantity. Silver will be very hard to find if don't hurry. The silver set looks the best. The finish of the white one looks like that of the XZ1. So far the best looking white sets are those of the GF2 which has a luxurious metallic pearly white finish.

The silver E-PL3 has a transparent laminate and does not attract fingerprints like the EP3 no matter how much you use it.

Buy! Buy! Buy!

The silver E-PL3....

Any idea if the underwater case is now available?
Can it be used with the 9 - 18mm lens?

Some online review point to the fact that the E-PM1 & E-PL3 are not very comfortable because theres no grip. Especially with longer/heavier lenses.. So.. seems the E-P3 is still better ergonomically..

Well, there is no grip because with the E-PL3 and the E-PM3, you are supposed to take pictures with both hands outstretched, holding the camera Jokes aside, but I find a finger strap to be helpful when using 'gripless camera, like the E-PL3 and E-PM3.

maybe this xz1 grip from richard franiec might work, or wait for him to make one for epl3

And 1sgd is now 0.795aud.

So after conversion from 750aud, its more expensive than buying locally, havent include shipping cost too.

First test shot with the E-PL3...

1/80s f/1.6 at 25.0mm ISO 200

Taken with the Leica D Summilux 25mm f/1.4 ASPH.
Not so much about the E-PL3 (since the image quality is practically identical to that from the EP3) but a taste of things to come (hopefully) from the forthcoming Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 25mm F1.4 ASPH. The articulated LCD display of the E-PL3 does allow the camera to be used more easily from more inconvenient positions of course.

 

[cichlid]

Nice shot and lighting too.
