Re: 2nd hand E-P3

I must be the third hand up in the room, then...

(!?)

Mainly because the E-P3 has a little something that bodies with the brand new sensor (E-M5, E-PM2, E-PL5) don't :

TOPNOTCH COLOR ACCURACY (at Muted Color mode). For instance, E-P3 versus OM-D versus NEX 7...

Actually, no matter which camera or brand, I'm not shooting very often at high ISO (1600+) due to the necessary gradual loss of colour.

A second reason, which I have discovered later, is called an "Optional EVF". The flexibility of adding the EVF when/if needed, as well as its available angles, turns out to be a fantastic asset.

Last, but not least, more physical buttons and wheels for faster manual adjustments.
