\"Olympus<\/a>
Olympus PEN EP-3<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Recently I reviewed the Olympus PEN EP-2 on The Phoblographer<\/a>, and was quite impressed with this micro 4\/3rd camera for street photography. Little do I know that about a week later, Olympus announces their new PEN EP-3 along with their new Zuiko 12mm f\/2.0 Lens (24mm equivalent). From the looks of it, the camera looks great with an all-metal redesigned body, a reengineered autofocus system, a 1080p video mode, with a nice OLED touchscreen in the back. Sources show it will cost around $900 and will be available for purchase in August. Make sure to check out their full press-release here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
