Olmpus E-PL3 Hands-On Photos

A gallery of 12 hands-on photographs of the new Olympus E-PL3 compact system camera and Olympus FL-300R wireless flash.

Like yesterday’s lens photos, these shots were captured at the Olympus pre-launch event in Vienna in low, mixed lighting, so the quality is obviously not up to the standards of regular product photographs - but the pictures do give you an idea of the camera’s size, looks and tiltable LCD screen. A couple of them show the E-PL3 with the tilting mini-flash that will be bundled with it as a standard accessory, while the last two photos show the new Olympus FL-300R system flash that was also on display at the launch event.

What about the lack of an orientation censor?

Does that handgrip cover thing come with it, or is that something we have to buy in addition to?

Hermit that gorgeous CS-31B is a genuine leather body jacket will be an extra. You can Google the sites incl Olympus' that show it in all its glory but no price until Fall. I don't know why its being shown leathered up without mention of what exactly that accessory is so I dug it up. http://asia.olympus-imaging.com/products/dslr/accessories/case_strap/ http://www.pocket-lint.com/news-gallery/40826/olympus-pen-e-pl3-hands-on/3#image Eventually it'll be a freebie but likely not for early adopters. If its too pricey perhaps the Flipbac stick on grip will be sufficient though far less sexy.

Hermit,

You might be interested in a third party grip for E-PL3. See here:

"Richard's custom Grips are individually 3D CNC machined from a solid block of aircraft-grade aluminium before being glass-bead blasted, black-anodized and nickel-sealed for durability and good looks."

Coming in September: Olympus E-PL3 Grip!
