  • Highquality OLED screen
  • Highquality build and finish
  • OLED touchscreen
  • Fast autofocus
  • Wireless flash control
  • Quality images
  • Out of all the things we like the most about the Olympus PEN EP-3
  • The design and build quality stand out at the top of the list. It's a stunning little camera
  • With a cool retro feel and the ability to switch lenses whenever you need. Quality is high
  • With the use of aluminium throughout the body. It feels great
  • And it's also robust. The display on the back of the PEN EP-3 gets OLED technology
  • Nice design and solid metal build
  • OLED touchscreen control is a real time saver
  • Easy to use features (both auto manual)
  • Fun effects filters
  • Great image quality
  • Enthusiast-level shooting features
  • Solid build quality and stylish design

The editors didn't like

  • Poor images at ISO 6400 and above AF tracking can't keep up with fast movement No viewfinder built-in
  • A costly option in terms of a compact system camera
  • And not the most 'compact' option either
  • More expensive than a digital SLR
  • Too bulky for a pocket
  • Autofocus slows down in low light with the 1442 mm f/3.55.6 kit lens
  • No swivel or tilt screen / No builtin electronic viewfinder
  • No settings (shutter speed
  • Aperture) available in video mode and rolling shutter issues
  • Disappointing 3 fps burst mode
  • Battery life could be better
  • Expensive
  • Subject tracking ineffective
  • Too few shots per charge
  • The Olympus PEN EP-3 is a great little camera
  • But it's also expensive. You'll be able to get a decent DSLR for the same price
  • So you'll really have to want the more compact design. The lack of viewfinder will also put serious photographers off.
  • Expensive if you need to factor in a better lens
  • Too bulky to carry in a pocket
  • Olympus faces regulatory probes that may not bode well for the company
  • Zoom ring a bit hard to reach
  • AWB can be fooled under artificial light
  • Very expensive

  • Autofocus équivalent à celui des reflex,  12 Mpix suffisants,  Enfin de la Full HD,  Flash enfin intégré,  Aspect robuste,  Optique de base améliorée
  •  Prix élevé pour un compact à optiques interchangeables
  • Le Pen E-P3 est le meilleur compact à optiques interchangeable qu'Olympus a sorti à ce jour. Même en préversion, les clichés de l'appareil sont bons, la gestion du bruit à 1 600 ISO très bonne et la vitesse d'autofocus tout bonnement bluffante. Si on peut...

  • Touchscreen, Bildqualität, Autofokus
  • Detailtreue ab ISO 1000, Blitzleistung
  • Olympus liefert mit der Pen E-P3 eine Systemkamera im schicken Retro-Design ab. In Sachen Bildqualität und Bedienung erweist sich die Kamera als gut, aber eben auch nicht perfekt. In beiden Bereichen lässt sich die Digitalkamera noch verbessern. Die unver...
