Abstract: Build and Ergonomics Although it retains the traditional styling and build quality of the original PEN cameras, the E-P3's body has been further refined to improve its appearance and handling. It's slightly longer than the E-P2 but marginally thinner, not...
Some focus issues, No ISO button, Video could be better
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 -- basc...

We found auto focus to be lightning fast and the touchfocusshoot touch screen to work as well as on the Panasonics. The electronic viewfinder is a revelation — these things don't have to be useless toys.

While the Olympus PEN E-P3 shoots out in front of its class for performance and holds its own on features and design, it's a bit expensive and you'll need to tweak its JPEG settings to get the most out of its images....
Very fast AF; improved ISO performance; better sharpness; improved handling; 1080p 60i movie recording; built-in flash.
