Screen hard to see in bright light, Touch screen can freeze conrols, Art filters slow video frame rate
Olympus E-P3 verdict You get a different view of a camera having spent ten days with it in the absence of any other distractions, so this isn't the usual Cameralabs verdict assessing features and specifications and including comparisons with competi...

Without a doubt, this is one of the most fun cameras we've used on a daily basis. There isn't a high learning curve and what you see on its screen is usually what the camera records. It has extensive colour adjustments, Art filters and scene modes. Ba...

BeautifulLoads of buttons and dialsStellar autofocus system
PriceyNo dedicated ISO wheelPoor low-light performance
The E-P3 doesn't innovate enough from an image quality standpoint to justify an upgrade, and for newcomers, that $900 price point is awfully hard to swallow....
Abstract: Are you looking for a digital camera that does a better job of taking pictures than your smartphone or point-and-shoot camera? When you’re a blogger looking to step up, it’s probably a good idea to get a digital SLR camera. But maybe there’s another wa...

Abstract: New sensor, same sensor, or modified sensor…those were frequent questions in the run-up prior to Olympus launching their new PEN models, and specifically the Olympus E-P3. The consensus has largely been a modified version of the sensor found in previou...
Builtin flash (finally), fast autofocus, OLED screen, manual movie and CAF features
Poor subject tracking, a little expensive, no standard microphone port, poor battery life
The E-P3 is an impressive Micro Four Thirds camera. It's well built, looks the part and takes great pictures to high ISO settings too. The inclusion of a new built-in flash and AF illuminator finally lays to rest the complaints of previous models. Furt...
Beautiful images and video. Fast performance. Improved autofocus speed over its predecessor. Built-in flash. Big, bright OLED touch screen.
Expensive. A bit heavy and slightly larger than its predecessor. No optical viewfinder. Touch screen interaction can be confusing.
The Olympus PEN E-P3 Micro Four Thirds camera offers a pleasing mix of a smaller-than-SLR body, fast performance, and beautiful images, but for the best pictures possible you still need a true D-SLR. ...

Would benefit from a new, improved sensor. All that metal means it's no lightweight. It's got so many features and options you might spend more time figuring it out than shooting. What happened to 24fps video?
