Thanks for your answer...
I bought my pen e-pl3 2 hours ago. Now i'm waiting to charge the battery. Later i will test it & write my opinion. i hope it's fast... but i saw funny something in box

Olympus put small picture, on this picture pen e-pl1 auto focused one seagull

after pen e-pl1 this picture for me say "now this is possible", but i'm not sure yet. But i like body, it's littlebit heavy but i like it, it's look like a strong stone.

The AF differences between the E-PL1 and the E-PL3 are huge.

Why didn't you get the epl3 like you said??! The AF on the epl1 is immensely slower than on the epl3!

Thanks for your answers. I test my e-pl3 a littlebit in home. Low light AF performance good. I don't feel lens and photo quailty better than e-pl1. But this new 14-42 lens is very silent. Ergonomy+handling is hard, i must learn, i need time for adaptation this pl3

I read yesterday some news about Olympus company. They have a big echonomic crysis. Maybe after my buying they make a big discount

this is my luck.

enjoy the camera make it your new toy and test shoot in a room or outdoors just for the fun and learning it provides, shoot review ant different settings and isos, also remember that a 50mm slr legacy lens and adapter can be bought for less than 50 dollars US funds or even much less and provide an excellent
portrait length lens usable in A mode or M mode

old lenses and new micro 4\3 bodies are a natural fit! adapters exist for almost any lens, for very little money

Thanks lisandra,
i will search & buy "fotodiox" adapter. I search OM lenses... if i found cheap & good condition than i will buy. i think this way better than buying m43 lenses. My old pen e-pl1 is now my little brother hands

when i learn some information about pen series than i share with him.

today i will buy new pen e-pl3
