Olympus reveals PEN E-P3, E-PL3 and E-PM1

You won't be coloring us surprised at 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 variety 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 3-inch tilting LCD, while the smallest and lightest of the PEN line (yeah, the E-PM1) will be shipping in a half-dozen hues. The outfit also revealed a new pair of prime lenses, a camera grip and a FL-300R flash, all of which are detailed in the source links below. The bad news? Only the P3 is being priced, with USD$900 landing you a fairly swank kit this August.

Micro4/3 fans rejoice! Olympus recently revealed the new PEN E-PL3. I would love to get my hands on one soon to try out the new autofocusing system which is reported as "the world's fastest autofocus"

Never take a blur picture again! Is this too good to be true? #Lytro

Both the technological and Photography world have been set abuzz by a tech company, Lytro. The 'Light Field' technology enables the camera sensor to record more light than normal sensor, coupled with a special software which enables users to choose the focusing point of the picture after the picture is already taken. 

Looks too good to be true if you ask me.
