You may have 3 choices, and you can change your vote if you decide to change the model/mind later on.

While the new cameras coming out look amazing, I am going to instead look at some of the new lenses...

If I could afford a new camera, it would definitely be the e-P3!

Not this summer, but once the E-P3 gets around 450 euros, I will probably buy it.

You forgot the PL3.

guzziknight · « **Reply #7 on:** July 02, 2011, 08:59:31 AM »

Depending on the price/features, and what I could sell my E-600 for, I may add an E-PL3, since it'll be the first Oly with some sort of articulated screen.

popo · « **Reply #8 on:** July 02, 2011, 09:44:33 AM »

Ok, voted for PL3 now.

I *want* a PL3 but at the end of the day it isn't that different from the P1 for the difference in cost. I have to admit I did get a quote on selling the E-P1 kit to a dealer, and... let's just say what I got offered wasn't a lot. Some of my filters cost almost as much...

lisandra · « **Reply #9 on:** July 02, 2011, 10:06:44 AM »

is there a chart somewhere yet with the difference between these cameras?

popo · « **Reply #10 on:** July 02, 2011, 01:03:02 PM »

For starters there is the dpreview comparison thingy.

From my perspective it's even simpler: P3 has touchscreen. PL3 has tilt screen. M1 is small. The rest is rather a game of spot the difference.

If they'd give me a damned price on the E-PL3 and E-PM1.

the pl3 has 2 custom WB for some strange reason
the pl and pm seem to only have 11 focus points instead of 35
460k dots on the pl and pm screens
Did all of you notice the hotshoe flash is included on the pl and pm?
the pl and pm have 5.5 fps burst vs the 3 on the P3 (what??

)
also, the pl and pm seem to be identical in size only that the pl is 3mm thicker (.12 inches)
What really doesnt make much sense to me is that the cameras with no touch features are the ones that desperately need it (no buttons)

lisandra · « **Reply #13 on:** July 02, 2011, 07:46:36 PM »

wait wait
another site says they all have 35 focus points
5.5fps is only possible with the IS off, IS on switches the speed to 4.1 fps
live view magnification gets a boost to X14
tone control is what a lot of people are looking for,

lisandra · « **Reply #14 on:** July 02, 2011, 07:48:06 PM »

kelvin goes all the way to 14k

E-P3 for autofocus speed and built-in fill flash

dixeyk · « **Reply #16 on:** July 19, 2011, 07:42:50 PM »

Nope...Form an IQ perspective I would pick the G3 as I thin it's the best of the new cameras. That said, I find the G3 gave up a bit to much in the way of control buttons for my liking so I think I'll sit tight. OTOH. I am just not motivated by the new Olympus cameras. They look terrific but at $900 the E-P3 is too much for too little improvement (for what I do) over the E-P1. I can see the Olympus bodies being real popular but not for me.

I'll buy a Gucci handbag insted of E-P3

If only I could make it impossible for those spammers to join.

Increasingly I lurve my E-P1 so do not really want to upgrade unless someone can covince me that

1) The new Oly 45mm lens (when I get it) will be oodles better on another body and
2) I need a better screen

Ok, maybe better autofocus MIGHT persuade me, but frankly the slow AF bothers my wife more than it does me, I guess I have learned to live with it.

Anyone....?

Try buying a new lens for your E-P1, I just did that and I didn't think I could love it any more than I already did. I was wrong.

Not right now.

delhaye · « **Reply #22 on:** August 29, 2011, 09:17:33 AM »

Just bought the G3

Had the E-P1 and EP-2, and decided to switch parties....

Jason C · « **Reply #23 on:** October 14, 2011, 07:08:16 PM »

I selected no. I keep telling myself to get an E-P2, so I can use a VF-2 but I vacillate. My E-P1 does fine.

You know you can get an E-P2 for only $299 now, right?
