So, the GH2 suffers from that problem too? I find the G3 menu bad enough!

Yes, it makes sense to go for the E-P3 at today's low price, if it meets your needs. As you say, then you can wait for the E-P5 price to drop so it's affordable (and thus skip the E-PL5 with its...

Excellent post, IMHO. Makes good sense to me. I've never heard of an E-P3 owner who was disappointd in the camera.

The last one, by a long chalk. The others don't really have much impact IMHO.

Isn't that what Panny G series is supposed to be for (built-in EVF)? I can't see them building one into future GX or GF models.   As for OLY, they seem to have defined PEN models as being VF-less,...

Great stuff! Whets my appetite for my forthcoming trip to Taronga with the kids.

It might seem a backward step, but I'd be inclined to consider a GH2. It seems o me the best Panny so far, given the high cost of the GH3.

EP3? Who said anything about an Oly? :-D

What do you mean? What is "Hybrid O.I.S"? Why does Panny need an IBIS solution? Solution to what?

Very informative post, Chatokun, thanks for that!

The E-P3 has some important ergonomic advantages, IMHO, especially if you like/need good manual control of the camera's functions. The E-PM2 is lacking in that respect, albeit it has a more...

As others have said, the E-P1 and E-PM1 are well and truly superseded by later models. I would add that IBIS is not very good on E-PM1. Your G3 is a much better camera than either of these in most...

Really great set of pictures, each one showing creativity and skill.  Well done, and thanks for posting!

GX1 doesn't have a built-in EVF, which may or may not matter to you. I like my G3 with Panasonic 14-45 lens. The G3 is a very competent camera and very good value for money. It has some nice...

It does indeed -- providing the price is reasonable.

I think Msnap is right. Many reviewers have said Oly OOC jpegs are best. My own digital camera experience, with Olympus E-PL1 and E-P2, Canon EOS 10D, 20D, 30D and 40D, and Panasonic LX5 and G3,...

That is a masterly landscape study IMHO. Excellent, very well done!

Considering Panasonic's videocentric orientation, the lack of remote control for video triggering seems a strange oversight. What were they thinking?

I agree with Tedolph - flash is the obvious solution and can be very effective and natural-looking if done well.

You are correct, there's no excuse for this. Trouble is, as the demand for web "designers" grows, the standards go out the window and we find ourselves at the mercy of irresponsible kids.
