When comparing Panasonic GX1 vs Olympus EP3 one must keep in mind the fact that whereas the GX1 is meant for those who want a DSLR type camera without actually buying a DSLR and the EP3 is meant for those who have the abilities to shoot professional shots without the help of a DSLR.
The Panasonic GX1 represents a leap for the company in terms of the features offered and the GX1 lives up to the hype surrounding its launch. Panasonic designed the GX1 specifically to fulfil the legacy of the GF1 where GF2 and GF3 have failed.
The Olympus EP3 is meant for the person who knows the difference between a zoom and a macro lens and knows how to adjust the exposure and the ISO settings in accordance with his or her preferences. The EP3 has been designed for those who know how to shoot pictures without having to carry the bulk and weight of a DSLR.
