Comments about Olympus E-P3 Street Shooter Kit:
I got this for myself and my wife, who is more of the fanatic photographer than I am. I wanted it for the portable factor and she wanted it because she loves new gear and trying out new techniques. I have been hauling heavy DSLR gear around and wanted to lighten up. Even though the E-P3 is a step down from the Canon T2i in terms of MP's, it seems to take comparable quality photos with much less hassle. The street shooter kit included the 12mm 2.0 lens and the EVF3 viewfinder. The lens is wonderful but the viewfinder is not my cup of tea. I think the OLED screen is plenty bright without the viewfinder and I find it gets in the way of street shooting. Still, the price of the combination was very good. I am still in need of a serious telephoto, though. I kind of wish the bundled lens was more towards the "normal" rather than wide end of the spectrum.

- 9
- Was this a gift?:
