[tagapagbalita]

Olympus updated its PEN lite E-PL5 and mini E-PM2 mirrorless Micro Four Thirds cameras. These cameras now has the TruPic VI image processing engine found in their flagship m 4/3 OM-D EM-5. The new image processing engine and 16 megapixels sensor promises a better image quality than its predecessors. As you can see on the PR images above, Olympus now incorporates the hand grip found on the higher PEN model E-P3 which is a welcome design update. Aside from the slight tweak in design, these PEN’s got the capacitive  touchscreen inherited again from the E-P3. Of course the Art Filters are there to provide the in-camera image enhancements with the additional “Water Color” filter.

The E-PL5 will be available early October while the E-PM2 is going to be sold by end of October. E-PL5 can be had for $699 and $599 for the E-PM2 both with kit lens. Php 29,xxx and Php 24,xxx conversion to Philippine peso respectively.
