With a slimmer design than the E-PL2, the newer Olympus E-PL3 Micro Four Thirds camera removes the built-in flash (and replaces it with an included flash accessory) and pushes the lens mount outside the body to get a much thinner camera.

Description

The Samsung NX200 is the latest addition to Samsung's NX series of interchangeable lens cameras. It packs a 20.3-megapixel CMOS sensor, 7fps continuous shooting, 1080p video capture, and a VGA display.

Panasonic's Lumix DMC-GH2 is a mirrorless, interchangeable lens camera. It has a Micro Four Thirds mount and it can shoot 3D stills and video when used with a G series 3D lens. The small and lightweight camera also has an articulating 3-inch touchscreen.
