I've been thinking about getting a DSLR for a little while now, and then I noticed Jessops have the Olympus Pen E-PL3 twin lens kit for what I think is a really good price (£370).
Here is a link to the camera: http://www.jessops.com/online.store/products/82296/show.html.
How do you guys think this kit compares to a entry level DSLR kit like a D3100 or a 1100D?
The reviews for the Pen are pretty good, and it seems pretty comparable to the DSLRs I mentioned above. I want manual control of aperture and shutter speed, which it has.
I'm not sure if I should be worried about the potential lack of lenses or not? I guess more second hand ones will come available as time progresses. How many amatuers need more than two lenses (wide zoom and telephoto zoom) anyway? Maybe if I get to the stage where I want dedicated macro/wide lenses etc., I would probably also want to upgrade to a mid level DSLR if I go either way...
Thanks for your input, opinions and expericenes,
Doug :good:
