Olympus reveals PEN E-P3, PEN E-PL3, and PEN E-PM1 interchangeable lens cameras

You will not be coloring us surprised on the launch of the E-PM1 , but those other two? Well, let’s just say we’ve always been big fans of the elusive trifecta. Olympus just went live with the PEN E-P3 (shown above), PEN E-PL3, and PEN E-PM1, three 12.3 megapixel interchangeable lens cameras with Live MOS sensors, TruePic VI image processors and an ISO ceiling of 12,800. You’ll also get a reengineered autofocus system, a 1080i HD video mode, newly designed user interfaces and a lot of Art Filters. The E-P3 is outfitted with an all-metal body and “the world’s fastest autofocus” (really?), while the rear is dotted with a 614,000 pixel OLED touchscreen. The E-PL3 steps it up with a three-inch tilting LCD, while the smallest and lightest of the PEN line (yeah, the E-PM1) can be shipping in a half-dozen hues. The outfit also revealed a brand new pair of prime lenses, a camera grip and a FL-300R flash, all of that are detailed inside the source links below. The bad news? Only the P3 is being priced, with $900 landing you a reasonably swank kit this August.
