The E-P3 is, in many ways, the camera we always hoped the PEN would be. It addresses the major weaknesses and criticisms of the E-P1 and E-P2, most notably with substantially faster focusing, a much better screen, and the addition of a built-in flash....
Nice design and solid metal build; OLED touchscreen control is a real time saver; easy to use features (both auto manual); fun effects filters
Expensive if you need to factor in a better lens; too bulky to carry in a pocket; Olympus faces regulatory probes that may not bode well for the company
The Olympus E-P3 may be expensive at £800 with standard zoom, but for once the expense is justifiable. The E-P3 oozes class, and picture and video quality largely live up to its peerless impression
The E-P3 is a fantastic camera, which easily upholds the substantial reputation of the PEN range. It’s an excellent CSC that will suit everyone, regardless of skill Overall Our provides the latest photography news, reviews, previews, features and tec...
At £799 with the 14-42mm kit lens (or £699 body only) the E-P3 sits at the more expensive end of the CSC market and, while it excels in its field, at its current price point you could pick up a great D-SLR with change left over. The price will fall o...
Sammanfattning: The E-P3 is Olympus flagship Micro Four Thirds system camera. Claiming the fastest autofocus of its class, its clear it means business. The compact system camera market is continually expanding, with Olympus now an old hand at producing these sty...
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 -- b...

Out of all the things we like the most about the Olympus PEN EP-3, the design and build quality stand out at the top of the list. It's a stunning little camera, with a cool retro feel and the ability to switch lenses whenever you need. Quality is high, with the use of aluminium throughout the body. It feels great, and it's also robust. The display on the back of the PEN EP-3 gets OLED technology,
The Olympus PEN EP-3 is a great little camera, but it's also expensive. You'll be able to get a decent DSLR for the same price, so you'll really have to want the more compact design. The lack of viewfinder will also put serious photographers off.

OLED touchscreen, fast autofocus, wireless flash control, quality images
Expensive, subject tracking ineffective, too few shots per charge
