Had wanted to my Panasonic G6 an even more compact body solution that is compatible with my MFT lenses anyway. The choice fell quickly on the E-PL3.
Feel:
As usual of Olympus, a very high-quality impression. Metal, no plastic, ordinary buttons, massive overall impression. Top!
Handling:
For my big hands a little too unwieldy in combination with the relatively high weight. The menu navigation is also typical Olympus, rather below average, the inclined users but definitely get used to it quickly.
Image Quality:
For the size of the picture quality is absolutely fine, who will want to make any huge deductions may interfere with anything, unless he can not take pictures;)
Who calls, no decent standard zoom lens its own is here in any case to the right place because the lens alone will cost about the same as here with body.
Conclusion:
Qualitatively absolutely convincing, especially the lens makes a lot! Have they yet returned because the camera really no longer comes as a compact, even with the 20mm Panasonic Pancake. Those who come clear with the size can confidently strike, who does not wish to System should rather resort to Samsung EX2F, Hammer quality and an initial aperture of F1.4 for about 300 are in my opinion above average.
