Over the last couple of years, Olympus PEN has made a name for itself with retro-styled, easy-to-use, compact system cameras that take very high-quality pictures. The new PEN Lite (E-PL3) does that and more. It gives you all the creativity and interchangeable lenses of an SLR camera, but with none of the hassle - and none of the bulk.

Do you want to shoot professional pictures, but a digital SLR scares you? In that case the Olympus E-PL3 is exactly what you need. This camera has it all: excellent image quality, superfast autofocus and easy of use. Olympus’ in-body image stabilization technology makes it possible to use any Micro Four Thirds lenses (or Four Thirds lens), from wide-angle to telephoto, for perfectly clear, crisp photos no matter what the shooting situation, even in low light!

Beautifully designed and engineered with all the very latest technology, the E-PL3 might be small in size but it is certainly big on features. It promises all the razor-sharpness, background blur and vivid colours of a professional SLR camera - despite being a fraction of the size. These powerful optics are all thanks to pixel-perfect lenses, a brand new 12.3 million pixel sensor and an optimized image engine TruePic VI processor. This innovative model also features a 3-inch tilt LCD, enabling maximum visibility and flexibility in both shooting and playback mode - from any angle. This is also particularly convenient and beneficial when using the full HD movie functionality that comes with this new PEN generation.
The E-PL3: So powerful it can capture everything. So small you can take it everywhere.
