Hands-on: Olympus PEN E-P3 review

By TechRadar, published 07-11-2011

The design of the new PEN E-P3 is very similar to that of the E-P2 and E-P1 with a few notable distinctions - including a pop-up flash.Firstly, the mode dial, which is rotated by the thumb of your left hand on the E-P2, has been moved to the right-hand side of the E-P3's top plate - as on the PEN E-PL2.

Olympus single-shot HDR camera in development tips insider

By SlashGear, published 03-04-2011

Olympus is reportedly working on a new camera with single shot HDR capabilities, able to create a high dynamic range image from a single frame. Most conventional HDR systems – such as that on the iPhone 4 for example – combine at least three frames of varying exposures to form a single picture with extra detail in both brighter and darker areas.
