I wouldn't say that I'm impressed by the E-P3, as I think it has the performance and features I think that the earlier cameras should have had anyway, but I will say that I'm happy with it. The focus speed, with my 4/3 40-150 on an adaptor, is good enough for what I use it for (candids). Focus speed, with the 17mm F2.8 pancake, is pretty bloody fast.

And AT LAST, a built in flash. Now I can use it with off-camera flashes.

So that gives me DSLR quality images in a 3 lens kit, that will fit in a shaving kit bag. Perfect for use on a motorcycle, when touring.

Thx Rob, I should be picking one up shortly. Cheers.

If you like an equivalent 35mm field of view, then you'll really like that pancake. I haven't tried my 14-42mm u4/3 lens on the body yet. Seems to work quite nicely with my 4/3 14-54mm F2.8-3.5 MkII 4/3 lens though.

Cool, I do have a Panasonic 20/1.7, so will be skipping the pancake. 34mm FOV is nice, but the 40mm FOV has grown on me. Thanks.

I borrowed a Panasonic GF3 from work with the 14mm 2.5.

So far.

Its like the GF2. I don't like it. LOL

But the size and pancake-ness I love.
