There is a quick way to confirm the image quality of E-3, just take a shot
with the sharpest lens you have with Liveview focusing on tripod, compare it
with E-1 to see which is better. If you are happy with this E-3 image then
the soft shots (after IS problem was solved) are highly possible due to
focus error.
