Olympus PEN Lite E-PL3 UK release and pricing confirmed

We first heard about the new Olympus range of three 12.3 megapixel Micro Four Thirds cameras last month but now Olympus is gearing up for the PEN Lite E-PL3 to hit our shores. The PEN Lite, which has fast autofocus and a 3in tilt-enabled LCD, will be priced at £550 for the 14-42mm lens kit and will ship to UK stores in mid-August. Olympus is also releasing the VF-3 high-res electronic viewfinder for the PEN camera range at the same time. Anyone else getting an itchy shutter finger?
