Model overview based on user reviews  
The Olympus E-P3 is a compact mirrorless camera that offers a vintage appearance and excellent image quality with its 12.3 MP LiveMOS sensor. Users appreciate its fast autofocus and low noise performance at ISO 800-1600, making it comparable to more expensive DSLRs. The camera is praised for its extensive manual controls and touchscreen interface, although the touchscreen can be inconvenient in cold weather. It features a stabilizer in the body, allowing for more affordable lenses. While the kit lens is considered average, the camera's ability to use interchangeable lenses and its compact size make it a versatile choice for both beginners and semi-professionals. Despite its higher price, the E-P3 is seen as a valuable investment for those seeking a high-quality, portable camera with a rich set of features.

The best choice for this money.

I think with such indicators this camera can replace almost any DSLR up to $1000. I compared it with the D90, and in some respects the E-P3 is superior, maybe not by much, but still. Same autofocus speed. I'm not even talking about the huge differences in size.
Large physical size of the matrix, low noise at ISO 800-1600. Vintage appearance. Autofocus engages instantaneously, half a second, maybe less.
The kit lens is not very good for this price
Olezhause Olympus E-P3 month or more i recommend it should buy
model for those who want to take beautiful photographs
8 February 2012 
the camera allows you to take good pictures even without special photography skills. I bought it precisely because of this - so that I could point it, shoot it and get a good picture. Moreover, it has many opportunities for more professional filming. A photographer friend recommended this model when I decided to learn photography. That is, initially the result is already good, but the camera’s capabilities themselves stimulate learning in order to do better)
compactness, a large number of settings, simplicity for a beginner, the ability to rearrange other lenses, touch control.
i am satisfied with everything
