Congrats Daiking, I bought the E-P3 a while back as a small light weight cam for street photography. I find it perfect for this application with it's snappy auto focus. The touch screen is a revelation, especially the ability to select a focus point just by touching the screen. Image quality is pretty good and while it can't match my Nikon SLR it's not terribly far behind. I'd certainly recommend one as an upgrade from a point and shoot though the size and weight might surprise some people. Have you had a look at the Olympus 45mm f1.8 lens? although quite a long focal length on micro four thirds (90mm), it makes a great portrait lens. Here's a few from the street with the 45mm: Smoker by chris rs197, on Flickr Street Seller by chris rs197, on Flickr Tea by chris rs197, on Flickr Artist by chris rs197, on Flickr Peanut Vendor by chris rs197, on Flickr

Nice one Dave Strap it on and show us some pics.

I can relate Xav. I went to Duxford last weekend. I took the 300/4 + 70-200 + 24-70 and a couple of smaller primes, add to that the MBD10 on the D700 and my back was in bits by the end of the day :'( Annoying thing was I didn't even use the 70-200 or 24-70. I'm going to have to start going a little lighter in future. I'm getting too old That's a lovely image

Thank you Mart.

You have return PM.
