Your Wi-Fi enabled camera will silently download and install a “bricking” code. Leaving you with a paperweight and no option but to buy a new camera. Sure… they’ll fix it for you… for a cost… of a new camera!

However, unlike with a film camera, you can’t upgrade (technical) image of digital (= soon-to-be obsolete camera) quality by “installing” a current emulsion. I have a Coolpix from ’99 that works just fine. You wanna buy it?

5 months ago |Shouldn’t this camera be in the $350 price range by now? The new PEN with SONY sensor blew it away for hundreds cheaper.

5 months ago |I would be happy if the price would be that low in Germany-i m still thinking about buying one of these-when its cheap enought. I dont need the extra punch in Picture quality, but would be happy with the faster AF, and better handling then my E-PL2…
I wanted the E-P3 since the day it showed up, and just waiting untill the price reaches my limit-so i like the pricedrop, nobody is forced to buy early

5 months ago |I like my E-P3 and wouldn’t take an E-PL5 over it. People are so caught up in specs, the E-P3 is a far better handling camera – in fact I prefer it to the OMD in many regards. Please Olympus don’t put your enormous flippy screen in the E-P3 replacement! New sensor and maybe, just maybe I you are feeling super generous a built in EVF and 5-Axis IS. But if you are being lazy, just do a 16MP E-P3 and call it a day.
Oh, if you could go a Sony Whitemagic 3″ 4:3 (!) aspect ratio display that would be swell too.
Yours sincerely, the guy who thinks your E-P3 is still the best camera you sell despite it being the oldest and only model to have the relatively unloved Panasonic 12MP sensor.
