The E-P3 is a very nice looking camera and yes, the 12/2 and 45/1.8 are also marvels. However, it is dated on the technology side and it doesn't really look so nice anymore when using Panasonic lenses which have a very different styling.
So if you ask me I'd more favor the GX-1 with Leica 25/1.4 on the MFT side of life.

I'd love to use EP3 someday with the MFT Grand Trinity of lenses. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

You can build a very versatile (if not exactly super compact) kit using a mixture of A and E mount lenses. Of course that takes quite a bit of dedication and investment.

However, technically this works all just fine and can be regarded as a substitution for a DSLR. The approach works much better than the FT-to-MFT adapter for instance (with the exception of the Leica 14-150).
