Olympus PEN E-P3 Announced

Olympus announced its new flagship PEN camera, E-P3, on June 30. The mirrorless interchangeable lens camera with a 4:3 (17.3 x 13.0 mm) sensor is claimed to feature the world's fastest auto focus (AF) speed.

The classic shaped camera targets hobbyists as well as professional photographers looking for a camera that is easy to carry.

The E-P3 features a 12.3 MP Live MOS Sensor with ISO sensitivity upto 12,800 and a new image engine, TruePic VI.

Low light capability of the camera is enhanced with in-body image stabilization. A built in flash and focus assist light help you cope with even lower light conditions.

The E-P3 can shoot 1080i HD video in either AVCHD or AVI formats.

Its AF System features 35 focus points spread over almost the entire viewing area, and the ability to track a moving target object.

The camera has a 3-inch 614K dot OLED Touch screen panel with a newly-designed touch interface.

Other new features in the camera include art filters for stills and video, Multiple Exposure and In-Camera Editing.

Supported art filters are: Diorama, Pop Art, Soft Focus, Pale & Light Color, Light Tone, Grainy Film, Pin Hole, Cross Process, Gentle Sepia and Dramatic Tone.

Olympus has added a rotational dial, sub-dial and two new function buttons to the back of the PEN E-P3 to facilitate rapid changes in menu settings. Photographers can adjust aperture and exposure time in an instant, using their thumbs, without switching between menu selections.

The Olympus PEN E-P3 will ship with either the ED m14-42mm II R f3.5/5.6 zoom lens (28mm-84mm equivalent) or the m17mm f2.8 (34mm equivalent) lens.

Along with the E-P3, Olympus has launched two lenses with high-speed, near-silent autofocus during still shooting and high-definition (HD) video capture:

M. Zuiko Digital ED 12m f2.0 lens (24mm equivalent) and M. Zuiko Digital ED 45mm f1.8 lens (90mm equivalent)

The Olympus PEN E-P3 Body with either of the two lenses will retail at an estimate street price of $900.00 and will be available starting August 2011.

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers

Katy Perry for GHD Hairdryers Katy Perry continues working with the producers of GHD hair dryers and GHD hair care products: the singer once again demonstrated her luxurious hair in a fresh advertising campaign – this time she had the image of a diva from “the golden Hollywood” era (the pop-diva had already had the image of a hippie, a disco girl, and a mermaid). Luxurious dresses, bright makeup and a small portion of theatricality – one can immediately see that she is a star! The shooting was run by Ellen von Unwerth, who preferred to focus on restrained sensuality and the interplay of tones rather than on bright colors (the latter are always excessive with Katy) and presented black-and-white portraits of Perry to the public. The girl really looks perfect in the pictures : whether she is playing chess, recovering after a tiring concert or just getting ready to appear on stage. But whose merit is this: that of the photographer, the heroine, or maybe Photoshop?
