I'm very excited to have this flagship DSLR camera with me.
E3 may just be the best choice for those shooting in harsh conditions and its strength lies in areas of auto focus, implementation of live view, dust reduction and environmental sealing.The Olympus E-3 is really more better and comparable to the cameras by Olympus's competitors that we've been categorizing as semi-pro,such as the Pentax K10D, Canon 40D, and Nikon D200.With the E-3, Olympus introduces their first new autofocus sensor in years. Company claiming that this is the fastest AF system on the market. Combined with greater 1.15x magnification in the E-3's viewfinder, framing and focusing with this Four-Thirds camera is a lot easier than past Olympus models.
The Olympus E-3's Power switch is located in a familiar place for Canon prosumer SLR owners, just off the lower right corner of the LCD display.
On the look,I'm very impressed by its design and buttons.Its overall feel is very tight, solid, hefty, and well-thought and best build up.
When you'll grip the camera you feel the grip is very comfortable.Its design, though big, is ergonomically pleasing and handsome, and it gives you a feel of confidence and control.
Thus it'll make your shoot experience more pleasurable;)
