The E-PL3 was launched 8 years earlier than the G95 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with different body type with the Olympus E-PL3 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic G95 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before going through a full comparison, below is a simple summary of how the E-PL3 matches up vs the G95 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you use during that time. Underneath is the front view sizing comparison of the E-PL3 compared to the G95.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the E-PL3 and G95 is 88 and 67 respectively.

Sometimes, it is difficult to envision the gap in sensor measurements simply by checking out specifications. The photograph below might give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the E-PL3 and G95.

Plainly, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Panasonic G95 to show extra detail utilizing its extra 8.3 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older E-PL3 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
