So I Got This New Camera…

I have bee looking into buying a new camera for the last couple of years and have finally taken the plunge. Until now my digital camera experience has been limited to mid-level point and shoot and cell phone cameras. To be fair I have actually gotten pretty good at grabbing some really good shots with a phone cam. I have also followed a few photographers that are using a mobile phone camera exclusively and some of their work is amazing. Anyway back to the matter at hand. After a lengthy internal debate between getting the top of the line or sticking to my budget. To compound the issue I added a newer technology to the mix (micro four thirds).

I finally decided on the Olympus EP-3. My reasoning was that this camera met most of the needs I was looking for. The EP-3 has HD video capabilities. Previous versions did as well; however they would only record less than 10 minutes. The micro four thirds format also allows for a much smaller camera.
