Just posted: Our in-depth review of the Olympus E-P3

Just Posted: Although it retains its predecessor’s styling, the Olympus PEN E-P3 shares very little else with its forebears. There’s still a 12MP Four Thirds-sized sensor at its heart, but its autofocus, rear screen and movie capabilities have all been radically overhauled. Crucially, Olympus has also managed to squeeze a flash into the body. Now sitting at the top of a three-model range, the E-P3 is clearly positioned as a camera for enthusiasts. So, do its third-generation refinements and promises of world-beating AF performance make the E-P3 into the camera that the PEN series always promised to be?

The Friendship Case ( Il Caso Amicizia ) Full-Length Part 1
18
Aug
English Version (in 5 parts) of an Italian documentary describing the extraordinary Italian case of alien contact with a group of men. Part 3 contains an apparent real recording of a message of friendship given by them to us (see 6 : 11 ). See part 5 for a UFO connection with Voltaire and St. Germain It had been kept secret for half a century, but only just recently came to light after the death of one the men involved (Bruno Sammaciccia had asked for it to be kept secret until after his death). In Pescara, during the 50s to 70s, a group of extraterrestrials had contacted a number of unsuspecting people directly. This project was called ‘Amicizia.’ These men would be brought to their (etheric) ‘bases’ located on earth and apparently on board the UFOs. The people involved were of high social and cultural status, among them was the notable Console Alberto Perego. This is a collection of testimonials from them, which also shows excellent quality footage and photography of the phenomena, as well as apparent ‘messages’ (of love and goodwill) given to us from these beings.
