The AF speed improvement is reported to put it in the same class as DSLR's. This is a game-changer. Mirrorless cameras will eventually replace DSLR's just as 35mm replaced medium format cameras a half century ago, except for specialized uses. And they will of course continue to improve over time. There are a lot of other improvements, including to the image processor. And, for the point-and-shoot crowd, a built-in mini flash. (Which is, in fact, less necessary for cameras like this with a good-sized sensor, as you can get fine results with natural light).  The improvements of the E-P3 are, you will find on more careful examination, a lot more than “incremental”.
