gosh that was super cheap, i want one but currently not in KL..sob sob

i think that is nicely captured assuming the lighting indoor is poor

most model still got the bulb mode somewhere hidden or not so hidden...

need a help here..last time i checked, at Selangor Photo can get e-p3 with kit lens for rm2750.

Is there anywhere else cheaper than this around KL? thanks

its the One-Stop Digital Camera/Handphone store right?

note : just booked myself an e-p3 from selangor photo. the price dropped to rm2700 only.

if u are living around penang, the price there should be cheaper than in KL.
but if in KL,try ask from Selangor Foto at Pertama Complex. just bought my e-p3 for rm2799 with extra original battery and other basic accessories. without battery, only rm2700. e-pl3 should be much cheaper

totally addicted to my newly received PL 25mm f1.4, think will sell my kit lens 14-42mm.. lols..thanks olgac4

Olympus Firmware Update

Update for Olympus e-p3 1.1 is released, prepare ur usb cable and battery

just did mine, nothing went wrong, but can't test them, because i didnt own either EVF or eye-fi card.

but sure it feels good to get updated.. lols

for candid photographer, i think u want something fast and snappy, but also cheap.

go for olympus e-pm1 and any fast prime lens like oly 45mm or 12mm f2 or PL 20mm or PL 25mm.

oly 45mm costs only about rm1k.

e-pm1 kit costs about rm1880

can't say much about gf series, but i think oly is focusing faster compare to panasonic at this moment.

Nex series, no comment. lols

anyone here using eye-fi card with olympus PEN? how does the perfomance? it is worth the upgrade? thanks

nvrmind, bought one for myself, been testing quickly, direct mode to ios/android is quite fast and acceptable, but through wifi router is quite slow and pain in the ass :$

Sharing my e-p3 settings :

Mode : Muted, Contrast: 0/-1, Sharpness: -1, Saturation: 0, Gradation: Normal

Using exif-tool software, I've tried to read the real hidden configuration for every mode provided in the camera, I choosed Muted as main mode as this mode provides the nearest color reproduction to real life ( according to test made by DigitalCameraInfo.

Using exif-tool, for muted mode, sharpness and saturation are already at -1 for both. by adjusting another -1, the output will be -2

NF is recommended to be set at Off or Low and NR should be at Auto.

For WB, I've set overall Green -1 and Amber 0
Keep warm WB is set at Off

Last thing, for Display, I use Natural and with Brightness and Temperature both set at -2, as i find this will show the most correct reproduction to my eyes.

I know these has been discussed many times in other thread and forums.

I just try to share my experience with my e-p3. if any mistake by me, u are welcome to correct me. thanks, cheers

glad it helps, but if u prefer to use Natural mode, the sharpness should be set to -2 as the factory setting already at 0

in Muted mode, factory setting for sharpness is already -1

oh, auto-ISO ranges from 200-500 (ofc with Leica 25mm f1.4 )

as the noise filter in e-p3 will be set at Low/Off, the details of taken picture should be retained more than before, but sharpness setting done inside the camera body is not very reliable and will destroy the details of the picture.

moreover, if u want to do no more further post-processing with pc regarding the sharpnesss, u can use 0 as your setting for sharpness in Muted as this is actually already -1, which is quite acceptable already.

I'm also basing the idea from this E-P3 settings for best JPEGs thread.

but they prefer to use Natural mode, but I choose Muted mode for more real color production.

hope that helps, i've also been testing around

20mm f1.7 for the aperture

3107, to tell u the truth, people been arguing around to keep 20mm or PL25mm. but i never had the 20mm and i just go for the 25mm.

honestly, it depends on ur preferences, portability or quality.

20mm sure portable and slim and the quality also quite high but with slower autofocus ( with olympus e-p3 and related bodies )

25mm is huge (gigantic maybe ), but the output quality is maybe higher than 20mm, autofocus is certainly faster (a lot maybe)

since i bought the 25mm, i never put back my kit 14-42mm..currently thinking of reselling it back.

actually it does matter if u are into portrait shoot which should be at least 25mm and above to reduce the amount of distortion.

14mm is good if u are taking picture generally without people's faces up close.

i've been that road before in four-thirds, owned 9-18mm,25mm,14-54mm,40-150mm,135mm. at last i sold everything except the trusty 14-54mm, ofc before i jump from olympus e-3 to olympus e-p3.

as long as we keep shooting (camera not guns )

OMG, that is no NX200 but NEX200...lols

yeah, i know..that was a joke...lols..they are very lookalike

great to you vassalle!

anyway I use the Aki-asahi leatherette for my e-p3

http://aki-asahi.com/store/

there are various of options for e-pl2 too, but ofc need to wait for delivery, it took about 7days working for me.

as far as i know, olga is selling only PL25mm and i dont think that he is doing this on full time
