It uses the Micro Fourthirds, so it can support a wide range of previously announced lenses – from wide-angle lenses to long telephotos. The flip-down LCD also helps for selfies, as Olympus has enhanced the selfie-taking capabilities of the camera. It will be priced at USD549.99 (~RM 2274) for the body only, and USD649.99 (~RM 2687) for the 14-42 IIR kit, and availability will be sometime in October. We will update with Malaysian pricing and availability once it is available – so stay tuned to TechNave.
