E-PL3 is an excellent camera to learn manual functions
December 21, 2011
By: Jake

I just started into using a manual camera and this is an excellent model to learn with. It not only has all of the manual options on a toggle, but it also has tonnes of automatic functions. Not to mention the fastest autofocus available.
