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

it's an upgrade but far from the best

speaking stricltly as a EPL1 and an EP3 owner (still own them both, but i no longer use them), the EP3 offers better single AF performance, better controls, better build quality and an actual touch screen. You gain little or nothing in IQ and speed. EP3 is essentially a refined EPL1 with a (then) higher price tag

The successive 16mp generation offers more significant upgrades in all areas, save for build quality (not the EP5) and built in flash (not the EP5).
