Dips toes in water again....Sounds fantastic to me. I have one on order, but all they can say is 'sometime in August'.
We shall see - Amin - please give yourself a smart slap for getting yours before I do!
Ah - the pot and kettle syndrome! But to be honest Terry, a year ago it was only Sony and Leica - since then everything has hit the fan (Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax) . . . and in 3 months I might predict that it will be . . . only Sony and Leica.Dips toes in water again....
They may well have a winner on their hands, but perhaps via a more traditional route. Most of the major review sites have yet to offer their full reviews, but a lot of previews are somewhat unenthusiastic about the EP3. Certain features are appreciated (fast AF being an example), but there is a lot of "..this is what the EP2 should have been...", going on.Just curious. While I saw lot of enthusiasm about G3s, don't see anyone talking about E-P3. At least from the specs Olympus might have a winner in the hand, but bit surprised to see no one is talking about.
Did anyone here get hands on E-P3? What's your experience so far?
Yeah I am waiting to see what the NEX7 brings. For a company that I've had a love/hate relationship with over the years they seem to be pretty thoughtful on the camera side of things. They do slip up now an then like about 2 years ago with a whole mash up of different models but the A77 is going to be an eye opener.Ah - the pot and kettle syndrome!

LOL! Uh huh, the Wheel Of Magpie Syndrome continues to turn! ;-) (Hey, I'm as susceptible as anyone else.)Ah - the pot and kettle syndrome!

Exactly right.I don't think the E-P3 is going to get very good reviews from the major sites. There's a lot of emphasis on sensor image quality, and that's a definite weak point for this camera.
For me, the major strength of MFT image quality is the lenses. Sites like DPR and Imaging Resource mention the lenses only in passing when reviewing these cameras.
Scoring on points, the GH2 and G3 would KO the E-P3, but I'm very happy with the Pen. Jono and Brian, hope yours comes sooner than you expect!
LOL, Jono... Amin would have slapped himself silly by now if he was following that advice - I've already scolded him about that :deadhorse:Sounds fantastic to me. I have one on order, but all they can say is 'sometime in August'.

Congratulations Amin, you're a lucky man... do you really have to let the GH2 go though? I would have thought the 2 cameras a great match. Lovely photo of your better half too

+10MY hierarchic order:
1) camera with viewer
2) camera with viewer
3) camera with viewer
...
99) camera without viewer (or extra to buy viewer)
When Oly puts a good EVF into the EP3 and adds an articulating screen, ..
then it is named LUMIX ...
such things exist ---> conclusio: we don't need Olys with good EVF & articulating screen,
