[rcmamayek]

[acidchild]

Pentax =o]

[spicyscarletpepper]

[McErnster]

flippy-uppy-flashy

[MaybeVanillla]

i wanna sell my nikon d5000 and get olympus pen e-p3..

do you think it worth ?? :(

[laVagabundo90]

@MaybeVanillla no way

[ccaian1]

@MaybeVanillla

No

[5010148]

@MaybeVanillla I own both. Nikon D5000 is far away better in term of IQ. But Olympus gives you low profile.

[deadkrusty6]

[cristiawan]

hey! it's platform 9 3/4 !!

[rapamano]

THIS OR GX1? D:

[deadkrusty6]

@rapamano

I saw your comment and read ORGY.

[kididaho92]

Outstanding review and very entertaining. I wish all YouTube reviews could be like this one.

[djmomocrx]

better is a minolta strap ! this video makes me buy the p3 !

[Kikuchi81]

Hong Kong?

[JohnKatam]

i like olimpus

[ilovejapan234]

the only thing i was paying attention to for the first 2 minutes was that he was filming it in hk XD

[173skater]

Back sweat! Lol

[stevoken1]

Canon with nikon strap, now an Olympus with a pentax strap :S

[thefilipinokidutube]

love the videos but why have photos of strangers

[shinjanaytor]

Olympus PEN E-P3 or Pentax Q?

[staarkes]

@shinjanaytor Olympus PEN E-P3

[senormojo]

Why is there guitar???? Why? 

[wpte]

too bad on the noise shots... it doesn't look like they are taken with the noise filter turned off.

[sheffieldgeek]

dude,what's up with the pentax shoulder strap?????

[xxbluejay21]

I REALLY wish the NEX had this type of focus. I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS FOCUS

[Darryld1]

Olympus on a Pentax strap?

[ZombiNoir]

I love this video,I show it to customers at work when I want to explain why the touch-screen is betterXD!!..it also convinced ME to get mine[with the twin lens kit],and as someone who wants to shoot really detailed shots for artwork but also have a camera I can take impromptu city shots with at lunchtime,it can't be bettered-[plus it looks great-everyone thinks it's retro styling is worth commenting on!!;)], so thanks for the great review!! =)

[HAZED247365]

ITS BEEN ARNIFIED! LOOOOOOOOLL FUCKIN HELL!!

[mjones410]

@HogbergPhotography the impressive AF speed works with all auto focus lens's. It's focus processing speed is increased through the range. It is lightening fast with the 12mm prime F2. It makes this camera pretty usable for HD video as well.

[jrhineberger]

nice pentax strap lol

[HogbergPhotography]

Well, that "impressive AF-speed" only works with the 14-42 kit lens, which means yet another useless camera from Olympus.

[tx523]

@HogbergPhotography no, the AF works with all af lens, i've got a 12mm f2 lens and i would say its much faster than the kit lens i have

[Triggahappy1230]

what camera did you film all this with?

[ftpaddict]

Pentax strap on Oly body makes me giggle inside.

[mochiisgood04]

times square HK :) (i think) hehehehe

[hybridviol]

Love your videos, hardly understand any tech mumbo jumbo but for the entertainment value & artsy pics..

[kingrocker44]

Is that a Pentax strap on the Olympus?

[AnneLingling]

YOU ARE IN XI DAN AREN'T YOU?

I LIVED THERE FOR A MONTH THIS SUMMER CCCC:

Btw if i were her at 3:06 I would probably beat you up.

[GuitarPlayerGeo]

Great camera, but had to laugh at the guy just walking around taking pot-shots of the punters. Jeez, if I tried that over here in the Uk, I'd pretty soon either get my head in my hands or arrested! :) Personally, I think he's an arrogant and ignorant bugger, but is this acceptable where he comes from? Hmm.

[DelSolSea]

The external microphone adapter slides into the hot shoe will allow you to use external mic options

[shermsin]

times square? HK?

[97adhib]

@XenoType008 Yeah as long as it has like a APS-C sensor and some decent lenses without a touch screen and an easy to user interface, then it would be perfect!

[Devdog1618]

anyone know what kind of viewfinder he is using?

[yasmania2008]

I heard about this camera on the photo focus podcast nd decided to give it a look. After seeing it,there's no way I'm giving up my 5 month old Nikon D90. 👎👎👎👎👎

[AlvaroVonKunstler]

Pentax strap on Olympus body!

[Alexandropro1]

I xonder what uncompressed format of E-P3 is?



[photoman434]

expeliarmus, ignoramus, anus

[gimwun]

WOW! Just heard a rumour that Apple might be joining the DSLR/CSC market. Apparently, Apple are interested in making DSLRs & CSC which can connect up with the net and which you can upload your photos immediately. My friend in America told me this. I can't wait. I hope it's like the Olympus Pen, but with an iPhone integrated into it. Has anyone else heard of this? Still I bet they won't be able to compete with Canikon/Olympus & Sony.

[whails]

anyone know if i can use lumix m4/3 lens on the e-p3 and vice versa without adapter??

[minutes2midnite]

@whails you can. same mount.

[ESUNintel]

@whails Yes - you should try the Panasonic 14-140mm f/4.0-5.8 OIS Micro Four Thirds Lens; it is amazing with the PEN!!

[chocohi]

It's like watching Top Gear... but asian-fied... and about cameras. thanks for the review!

[fikerk]

The mediocre sensor really is holding me back from buying this camera. Does anyone know if Olympus is planning to upgrade it to APSC or something better with the E-P4? And does anyone know when the new version is going to come out?

[theTechnoclast]

@fikerk m4/3 is hardly a mediocre sensor. And given that they've invested on the mount I doubt they'll go with an APS-C anytime soon. It would be great to have APS-C like Sony or Samsung, but I think the m4/3 format has the most staying factor so far.

[fikerk]

@theTechnoclast That's disappointing to hear :l I've been ardently debating whether to get the Olympus which has better lenses or NEX-5N which has better sensor. I guess I could use an adopter for the latter, but I really want to buy Olympus if it upgrades to a sensor with less crop factor.. 

[braccobaldo2x]

(2:01): PENTAX strap on olympus E-P3!!!!

GALACTIC FAIL !!!

[idiotgear]

I finally found a review of someone actually taking pics. I wanted to know the speed in between shots.

[damiata101]

This camera is like a mansion. Big, bulky, but so beautifully designed that u would want one. In my opinion. I LOVE this camera

[sekolah91]

this guy is a pro olympus but sony and lumix haters. noobie much?

[romaf06]

can you do a review of the epl3 and would you say EP3 is better than nexc3? i know nexc3 has a bigger sensor but i heard nex lenses have really soft corners...overall is the ep3 comparable to nexc3 in terms of image quality? can you still get bokeh?

[MrPlaystationboy]

@romaf06 i think micro four thirds is the way to go i reaaaaaly want a e-p3 but i need more money

[justswoop]

that is one ugly massive camera

[Unlimited1Ups]

I love the Pentax neck strap. That's so pro!

[MrJava200]

Hey I have a question, will old PEN lenses work on this camera and vise versa?

[matthewemaddock]

Does it do nothing but rain in Hong K

[uncleoflaugh]

@matthewemaddock no the weather is quite nice now

[samyb333]

GRIP THE SAUSAGES.

[isiaih12]

Af speed may be good: not sure i saw a sharp photo

[milieugraye]

Please do a video of this camera with the Voigtländer Nokton 25mm f/0.95

[sebastiaanvanwater]

@milieugraye

They have that video review. Check a few videos before the e-P3 review.

[DeadDroidz]

e pl3

[poby5005]

6:23 and he looks so ugly too

[ThatGuyyyyy]

how does the image quality of this camera compares with fuji x100 (which is probably better, but my question is by how much)?

[sebastiaanvanwater]

@ThatGuyyyyy

Similar difference compared to other APS-C cameras. Less noise, more dynamic range and 1-2 stop advantage with high ISO.

[superabdoulworld]

lets do the g3 review shall we.

[ScottMAC57]

lmao at 3:03 :')

[AndrewReiningVlogs]

The PENIS E-P3 is a great camera! I've used on before, and it's great, with, a classic look

[NedKelly5580]

iPhone are crap... SAMSUNG GALAXY S 2... WOW!

[Grannygrudel]

has anybody noticed the guy at 2:57 wearing his backpack on his front lol

[nghj84]

Kai go play with the EPL3, it has a flippy uppy screen.

[Salamanamanjaro]

It seems to be raining quite a lot in Hong Kong

[xiaoquan]

Got mine few days ago. Bought the Sliver one. Doesn't really perform well in low lights. In low lights area, the camera can't bring out the details that well. Took a picture of my dog and his coat can barely be seen. Not sure whats the problem. Maybe olympus can fix it in the firmware updates.

[yellowkiwi8]

anus.

[supercockroach]

I'd love it, if it only had audio input :/ Makes the video recording useless.

[NHShaynne]

that thing is ugly imo, but that touch function is awesome!

[ElKuku9999]

This is a great looking camera. I don't like the look of the E-PL3. Its just too slim

[TheArsalanProduction]

i doubt that girl even noticed the camera lol

[ElKuku9999]

I love going back to watch the older Digitalrev videos. Except the ones pre-Kai, those were boring.

[fluffykaterina]

HAHAHA I love how you have these geeky moments that remind me of cartoon network

[chizhang001001]

mine ep3 is gonna arrive today wuhahahahaah

[ElKuku9999]

@chizhang001001 Did you get it yet? How do you like it?

[chizhang001001]

@ElKuku9999 I really like it, a much improvement from my e510 and btw its so sexy multiple ppl on the street asked me what camera is that

[wafflesrock567]

Platform 9 3/4? 0:30

[Badeg4]

@wafflesrock567 -> harry potter?

[vivakin]

Hello Rev team , which microphone system you using ? Can you guys do a video about dslr video microphone system ? Thank you

[Xezatt]

you have a fetish on taking pictures of homeless people

[DrElch]

@alexzhu because it makes the name of it more ... explicit... :p

[DrElch]

Why don't they call it PEN IS E-P3? It got Image Stabilization...

[alexzhu1]

@DrElch olympus has never included image stabilization in the name of a camera. why start?

[darren1985chan]

@DrElch E-P1 and E-P2 got that as well. and Olympus won't use that term anyways, that's for Canon lenses...

[MayorCallaghan]

@DrElch Because the full name would be Olympus Pen Image Stabilized Electronic Pen 3.

[bcptw]

10:50 the young lady is clearly agitated and disgusted. oh please...

[an006]

yaaaay alamby!

[RondoFan9999]

"make you want to touch it all day long"

[maximumdosile]

the lego camera!

[scaremengaviation]

Lok's videography is so damn bokehlicous.

[civworldgame]

i guess i ll stick with this ep2 for now! I read somewhere that ep3 has a very low sensor score!

[samyb333]

congratulations on your 250th video!

[V8rgr8]

Why do you always take pics of guys?

[agentjfk]

It looks like a camera from the 90's :D

[mikeismad61]

I love the older OM series SLR's ( at least the ones that worked - most of the time, OM1, OM2) and the superb Zuiko prime lenses but remain unsold on these EP cameras I just can't help feeling that when Canon & Nikon get stuck in they'll blow Olympus away - which would be a shame. Olympus need to introduce a REAL compact perhaps a DIGITAL XA with interchangable lenses - not that would be interesting and way smaller than any EP camera.

[Lifeintakes]

Does it do video?

[codyburk28]

Alamby is a babe.

[TheJuliaAndersson]

anyone who knows why they stopped making the e-pl2??

[vehlajatt22]

it looks like a great camera, i would buy it

[thejoce1]

1:27 HOGWARTS EXPRESS! :D:D:D

[JimmyJamesTorres]

Alamby is incredibly cute !

[janernn]

It's been arnified

[eddieqp]

太貴啦 !! hk$7000+

[NLuciferz]

Oh Yeah

[kuyt80]

Dude~ why so serius?



[danmx1970]

[TheShammies]

@danmx1970 No, he borrowed someone else's vocal cords.

[loloemin3m]

01:18 that's what she said

[wallyinindy]

Doesn't speak American english.

[motsigman]

hong kong was only english for a couple of hundred years

[ron126]

your face GODDAMN IT

[teachmemagic2]

Just me or anyone else notice the Platform 9 and 3/4 in the background?

[funnyguyindahouse]

pentax strap lol

[ElAlgasiras]

That music is annoying as hell!

[cch79124]

its so strange to hear an asian person speaking with an english accent... jus unusual lol

[swemda]

@cch79124 It's not that unusual in Hong Kong in fact, due to its history.

[karekature]

00:35 lol at Loks face!

[Smash4UF]

This guy cracks me up every time, goofy as hell.

[CNBLEW]

Grip the sausages...

[piceofham]

Pentax strap lol

[swemda]

@brindabellaoffroad Well, just keeping the good shots wouldn't be of any good in a review like this.

[kuma0445]

人家辛苦工作的人你幹嘛這樣去拍人家?有點禮貌好不好

[GoldenRize]

i cant believe that THAT is his voice O_O

[javyuma]

£900, think I'll give it a miss

[coolive2010]

白目

[YawnGod]

Oh God...that voice...that accent...that face...that body....don't know what to think.

[dell11700]

hmmm......fastest digital interchangeable camera?.......hasselblad H4D-60?

[dominatorwhistler]

6:26 looks like your holding a penis

[vita008]

@dominatorwhistler LOL

[jackryanlespaul]

does DRTV has magazines?

[PermenAsem]

Yes, digital measles. Is there a vaccine for that? A full frame sensor perhaps.

[chicaboo76]

Switch the Pinkon to Live View and compare the difference!

[ArtsIntentive]

Expaliarmus, Ignoaromous, anus. FTW

[ManOnTheMoonII]

09:00 BAPE

[SquirrelFromGradLife]

I love how they manage to turn everything around so that things that are great on the E-P3 is bad features on the Panasonic GF2 and GH2.. I wonder why...and no Olympus do not have the fastest auto focus that the Panasonic system with 0,1 seconds found on the GH2, G3 and GF3... and I love how they just forgot to mention the movie mode... oh so the E-P3 have a hard time focusing there and the GF2 and GF3 shines... yeah..

[zehquick]

Did someone broken your face for doin photos right in their face ?

Thats funny, how you just go and take the photos ! :D

[richard2point0]

@TheOllybanks youtube's having major problem with their view count for the past 48 hours it seems

[TheOllybanks]

@richard2point0 yeah and there player, it looks horrible

[Stutodude]

haha the people you take photos of look annoyed

[Acarsfault]

What I like best with DigitalRev is the best way to visit HKK.

When will it be in Wan Chai ?

[SkyKsKing]

lol.. who is the camera man at the beginning if lok is playing with the e-p3?
