Olympus E-P3 RAW vs. JPEG Comparison at photography Blog [PB] Better to shoot images at jpeg+RAW for serious result?
- Lens distortion is auto-corrected in the out-of-camera JPEG, while the image converted with RawTherapee is uncorrected
- The camera-original JPEG shows considerably higher contrast, while the raw conversion has arguably better tonality.

The E-P3 boasts one of the fastest auto focus systems available in a compact interchangeable lens camera. There’s plenty to like about this third gen Pen.
Pros
- Faster, DSLR-like AF
- Compact and stylish
- Art Filters
Cons
- Some AF quirks
- Dense menu system
- Still some LCD lag with art filters
What I hope could have been better in E-P3? Read this review at robinwong.blogspot.com and see sample images taken by the new Olympus E-P3 camera
1, Longer battery life For an advanced camera, the battery life is unacceptably short. On average, I could produce 350 shots with a single fully changed BLS-1, and that is NOT sufficient for my photography needs.
2. Tilt or Swivel Display Screen I shoot a lot of low angle and high angle shots and I really appreciate the flexibility of the dual axis swivel screen display of my E-5.
3. Larger grip for handling. Shooting whole day with the default supplied grip, I did feel strains on my wrists especially when I was handling larger lenses like the 75-300mm.
