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.
The 40–150mm lens — sold in the two lens $1200 kit — is rough and sticky
Olympus has drastically reduced the prices of their micro four thirds cameras and added to their features, making already attractive units even more desirable. The menu system, which has been criticised on earlier Pens, has been beautifully redesigned. No...
The Olympus PEN E-P3 is an attractively designed camera that's now one of the fastest in its class
Poor video quality and suboptimal default image settings aren't that great, so you really need to shoot raw to get good results at midrange to high ISO sensitivities
The E-P3 is the ultimate combination of style and substance. With its gloriously retro chassis and competent image-taking base, we're sold on the new Olympus generation of hybrid cameras....

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....
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...
Abstract: 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...
