This camera is great! It’s small, light, and gives killer images. Olympus took the EP-2 and gave it an overhaul. Improvement in autofocus alone makes this camera a wonderful upgrade. Not only is it blazing fast, but it could be the most accurate AF I’ve ever used. The new touchscreen controls, which I was hesitant about at first, are fantastic. They managed to take a somewhat novel idea for a camera and make it not only functional, but great! While the high ISO isn’t quite what I’d like it to be, it’s still usable for web use.

With so many small camera, big sensor options, it’s easy to get a bit overwhelmed trying to decide. One big advantage you have with the EP-3 over the Sony mirrorless system is lens selection. Since the m4/3 format has been around for a couple years, they have some great, fast prime lenses. It’s very easy to build a camera system based on the current native m4/3 offerings. The same can’t be said for the other guys yet. If you are looking for a small camera with awesome AF, great controls and DSLR-quality images, the EP-3 is your beast of choice. Just make sure you get the VF-2 Viewfinder, it makes all the difference in the world.
