This is my beauteous Olympus Pen E-PL1 (now out of date, replaced by the E-PL3), which I purchased for a small fortune earlier this year. I say a small fortune, it was actually really good value for everything that I got and it cost me just under £300. Its a really neat camera, in both senses of the word haha. Although an DSLR is very professional looking, and when I see someone toting a Nikon I drool a little, it's not the kind of camera I wanted. This is a hybrid SLR anyway so it does the job of an SLR but without the hassle. Plus it's extremely pretty <3
I am looking to extend my PEN family anyway, with some of these beauties below. I particularly have my eye on the macro and fisheye adaptor lenses. The focus on this camera is great but not too close up, and where other SLRs have a macro setting, this does not and i've struggled trying to get it to focus on really close up images (it took me ages the other day trying to get the perfect snap of that little bee on the lavender in the post below). The fisheye lens is also very exciting, and really really good value. That's the beauty of the PEN, all the attachments are relatively cheap and do the job perfectly for an amateur like me (i'm not gonna pretend i'm anything else guyz!).
So if anyone's wondering what to get me for my birthday (September 21st FYI) or Christmas..?
