Re: E-P3 is a good upgrade from an E-PL1

The best bang for the buck would probably go to the E-M10 Mark II, if you're not tied to a rangefinder body.  Same battery type of your E-P3 (BLS-5 and BLS-1) while the E-P5 takes a different battery than your E-P3.  The E-M10 Mark II is a much newer camera and has a lot more bells and whistle than the E-P5.

If you plan to jump onto the 20MP bandwagon; then the Panasonic GX-8 would probably fit the bill.  It's a little pricier used, but I see prices will come down further eventually.

Your E-P3 is still a very good and capable camera, so by the time you need a newer body, prices will surely be much lower later than now.
