From what I have read the EP3 has basically the same sensor as the one in the Panasonic G2, which is fine but not as good as the latest Panasonics. I have tried an Olympus as I liked the idea of in camera IS but I didn't like the way it handled or the layout of the controls. Many users clearly love them but it didn't suit me, I think the Panasonic controls seem more intuitive (coming from a Canon) so I prefer using them. The 100-300 is a surprisingly good lens for a relatively low cost and does make for a very lightweight set up. Attached are a few sample shots from the 100-300 on an 'old' G1 body (you've probably seen them over on the BF on the thread about this lens).
