The E-P3 looks and feels so cool !
The E-PL5 has the better sensor...
Difficult choice.
I you have the money, I would go for the E-P5, otherwise.... hmmm... I think the E-P3.
Thx for sharing your story.
2 years ago I started photography with the Olympus E-P1. It was and is still my first love.

Maybe I could try it with the kitlens and my legacy primes and see...
Thx! I'm more a prime and legacy shooter, but a high quality versatile zoomlens can come in handy at some occasions.
@
Christilou. Is the kitlens comparable (sharpness, overall quality) to the the primes you have ?
Hi Guys,
Currently I own an Olympus E-P1. The camera is getting old and I need something new.

Now have an eye on the X-E1.
I have two opportunities :
1) a second hand X-E1 for 700 euros(with warranty)
