Olympus E-PL3 Pen With 14-42mm Olympus M.
Zuiko Lens:

R 8 599.00
The Olympus E-PL3 Digital Camera (Black) with 14-42mm
Lens puts the power to do more with your photos in the palm of your
hand. Not only that, but the E-PL3 promises to do so, without weighing
you down. Perhaps you're a die-hard Micro Four Thirds fan or you're
simply looking for more versatility than a point-and-shoot can provide
but without the weight of a DSLR rig. Olympus has heard the call and
thus, has expanded their PEN line of cameras. This E-PL3 comes with an
mZuiko MSC Digital ED m14-42mm f3.5/5.6 zoom lens. You can start
shooting from day one with everything you need to make great photos.
This versatile zoom gives you the coverage to shoot most subject matter,
making it a great first lens.
Using the Micro Four Thirds Mount, however, you can add any of the
compatible lenses to the E-PL3 to customize the camera for the shooting
you plan to do. In addition to the included lens, the camera also comes
with an external flash for low light photography and a host of other
essential accessories. Along with capturing RAW and JPEG images, the
E-PL3 also takes 3D photos in the MPO format. And, as is one of the
hallmarks of the Micro Four Thirds genre, the camera also records
1080/60i HD video in AVCHD or AVI Motion-JPEG formats. Up to 29 minutes
of video can be recorded using the camera. Features like Live View and a
generous 3.0", tiltable LCD screen help to capture even more
dynamic footage with ease.
Driving all this picture taking and movie making would be the 12.3Mp
High speed Live MOS Sensor and the TruePic VI image processor. These two
work in tandem to not only record remarkably detailed and bright images,
but to do so quickly and efficiently, writing them to compatible
SD/SDHC/SDXC, or UHS-I cards. Another helpful feature aiding in the
image making process would be the in-camera image stabilization, which
promises a cleaner image than image stabilization in the lens alone.
Olympus' FAST AF System also does its part to help capture stunning
images with its 35-point focus area; making it especially useful for
shooting active subjects. Additional in-camera editing features include
the ability to make slideshows with sound and the ability to preview
effects as you adjust them. The E-PL3 also provides you the option to
wireless transmit your photos or videos to email with optional,
compatible cards, for computer-free transfer.
Features:
| View the World From a Different Angle: The
E-PL3 inspires innovation and is perfect for those who require a
versatile, portable camera filled with advanced yet easy-to-use
creative technologies |
| 12.3MP: The 12.3MP Live MOS sensor is
optimized to maximize the performance of all m.Zuiko digital lenses
in any shooting condition. Improvements to the sensitivity and
read-out speed of the existing sensor makes ISO 12,800 shooting and
Full HD movie recording possible |
| Stabilization Technology in the Body, Not In
the Lenses: Olympus' in-body image stabilization technology makes it
possible to use any Micro Four Thirds lenses, from wide-angle to
telephoto, for perfectly clear, crisp photos no matter what the
shooting situation, even in low light |
| Improved Color Reproduction: The TruePic VI
Image Processor, designed specifically for the Olympus PEN, features
Real Color Technology for improved color reproduction (especially
colors such as emerald green, yellow and gold) and color gradation |
| Face Detection with Eye Detect: Nail the focus
for every portrait photo, every time. The face detection AF employs
an "Eye Detect AF" that adjusts focus automatically on the
subject's eyes during portrait shooting and can even be adjusted to
focus on the right, left or near-side eye |
| Blazing Speed: The FAST AF System is able to
focus at an incredible speed and offers 35 separate focus points
that are spread over nearly the entire sensor, which makes it
possible for pin-point accurate focusing on small subjects wherever
they appear in the frame |
| 5 FPS Sequential Shooting: With the E-PL3 you
can take up to five photos a second, allowing you to easily capture
that perfect shot, especially when your subject is moving |
| Advanced Continuous AF and Tracking: With the
improved AF system, the AF Tracking function locks your subject into
focus and continuously adjusts focus and brightness even if the
subject disappears from view momentarily |
| Improved Lens Technology: High-precision
engineering and an improved internal focusing mechanism have allowed
the Olympus MSC (Movie+Still Compatible) lenses to auto focus
quickly, smoothly and silently, perfect for stills and movies |
| Full 1080 HD Video: Shoot up to 29 minutes of
1080/60i HD video and stereo sound in either AVCHD or AVI formats. A
Direct HD Movie Button switches you from still to movie mode with
just the press of a button |
| In-Camera Advanced Arts Filters: Six in-camera
Art Filters (Pop Art, Soft Focus, Grainy Film, Pin Hole, Diorama and
Dramatic Tone) are enhanced by filter variations, art effects and
bracketing. Photographers can use Art Filters in all shooting modes
as well as filming HD movies |
| 3.0" Tilting Widescreen LCD: This bright,
460k dot high-resolution screen tilts up and down (from 80 degrees
up to 45 degrees) to capture moments from a variety of angles |
| Get Wireless: No need for cables or even a
computer. Upload or email images directly from your camera with an
optional PP-1 PENPAL or Eye-Fi card. The E-PL3 is also capable of
recording stills and video to SD, SDHC, SDXC and UHS-I media cards |
| AF Illuminator: The addition of this super
luminosity LED beam allows the camera to focus faster in low light
up to almost 10 feet |
| Increased ISO Sensitivity: Stunning low light
photos are a click away with an increased ISO sensitivity to 12,800 |
| Attachable Flash Included: This camera
provides the flexibility to attach a flash to your camera via the
accessory port, or leave it at home for maximum portability |
| Expandable System: A range of interchangeable
lenses, accessories and strobes are compatible with the E-PL3 to
support all different types of photography needs |
| Fast Shutter Response: Never miss a shot again
with the E-PL3's fast shutter response time of less than 60
milliseconds (60 - 1/40000 sec.). The TruePic VI feature allows for
reduced shot-to-shot time by shortening the black-out time between
shots |
| Professional Audio Sound Capture: Take videos
that are able to capture uncompressed CD-quality 16bit/44.1kHz
Linear PCM stereo recording or AC3 Dolby Digital audio |
| ePortrait Mode: Capturing beautiful portraits
is easy with the ePortrait Mode that enables you to soften shadows
and smooth your subject's complexion either before image capture or
during post-capture edits |
| Advanced Shadow Adjustment Technology: You no
longer need to worry about the extreme contrast between dark &
bright areas in your images. The E-PL3's Shadow Adjustment
Technology corrects for extreme light variations with high-tech
efficiency either before |
| Live View Magnification: For accurate manual
focusing, MF Assist can be enabled during S-AF + MF operation. With
it you can zoom in on the central part of the image by up to five
times by turning the focus ring |
| Live Guide: Color saturation, Color image,
Brightness, Blur Background, Express Motion, Shooting Tips |
| Reset and Custom Setting: My mode- 4 setting
recordable |
| Easy Photo and Video Playback On Your HDTV:
The E-PL3 makes sharing your content easy. Using the HDMI output,
just connect the E-PL3 to your HDTV with an HDMI cable (not
included) and navigate the camera's menus from the comfort of your
couch |
