Olympus Users' Gathering for PEN EP3

Olympus launched their new product PEN EP3 on 30 June 2011 last month. I was invited by Olympus to attend their Users’ Gathering at Fullhouse, Sunway Giza on 16 July 2011. It was a great gathering whereby I have a chance to meet up many PEN USERS who used to chat or communicate in facebook but now we are actually meeting face to face and acknowledge each other physical appearance as human and not something digital in facebook…. Hee hee!!

Before the gathering, some of us even took the opportunity to have breakfast together at Paparich …

At Fullhouse, we were greeted by friendly Olympus staff, look how warm and friendly Phoebe (right) welcoming us!! Off course the K-poh Jamieh (left) was given us a bigger huge !! Ha Ha!!~

After registration, we were given a piece of paper which printed, “It’s Love, it’s Pen”

This is too much, Pen camera has built in SKII, it made my skin so damn smooth ... walaueh!~

Wow, that piece of paper was a door gift coupon and can be exchanged for a special gift from Olympus ... See !!

It is a miniature pen camera with two exchangeable lenses …. Isn’t that cool!

The objective of Pen Users Gathering is to brief us the features of the newly launched Pen EP3. The presentation started by the Olympus General Manager, Mr Kee Nyap, a young and energetic guy who is also very friendly to all of us. The presentation was simple but very informative. It was presented in point form which straight to the point. Later followed by Robin Wong who claimed as non-professional photographer but no one is agreeing with him … hahahah, he was just too humble, this is because the photos that he had taken (www.robinwong.blogspot.com) are much better than many so called professional. Last but not least, the Pen Lovers founder, Koon Yik who has shared some of his experiences of using the new EP3. All of them had given a great and wonderful sharing and advise to us.

I called this type of sharing as poisonous sharing because they are very contagious, the feeling of "buy buy buy" are so strong. The EP3 is a fantastic product; the fast auto focus is unbelievable fast, we have tested onsite and no one had disputed about it. Robin did say it is real good for street shooting because even the subject matters notice you are taking their photo, but they couldn’t even reacted, you have finished taken their photo. “Wow!!” is the only word I can think off.

The 12mm lens with f2 also another poisonous lens, deep inside me wanted so much. … Ah yai, expensive hor!! So, control control control … nice to see, nice to try, nice to hold, once you are not careful, you will be ended one at home …….hahaha, LOLs!!~ and Olympus will be laughing all the way to the bank with your money !!

I purposely don't want to post the photo of the 12 mm lens here, so that "see no evil, think no evil" LOLs ...

But for those who are looking for a good camera with good lens, but thinking other brands are better, you better give a look at the EP3, because you don’t know what you have missed!!

It was a fun session; beside listening to the sharing, we have the opportunity to meet up and chit chat with some old friends, some are “long time no see”, and also meeting some new friends ……

A long time no see friend :)

It's like a big family …. Especially when you join the famous PEN LOVERS in facebook, you started to be able to know friends who have the common interest and you also have the opportunity to share your photo with them and learn from other sifu around in the group.


The end.
