Great Camera

Dec 31, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: excellent durability body, fast auto focus, nice grip material, noise better than other oly DSLR, acurate colour
Cons: Small LCD than competitor, expensive high grade lens & accessorys
Opinion:
One year ago I used Olympus E500 with 2 kit lens, in my opinion I want more than I have, but oly not release DSLR Pro for long time after E1, in 2008 I buy canon 40d with 2 L lens, but I not satified using this equipment (just for me), before christmas 2008 I am sold out my other's oly equipment and buy E3 - my feel & passion about photography up again - you can know what different after using/try its.

Many reviews talk about noise in high iso, I think this is relevant, for me like film grain and not big problem

For other reference please visit www.fourthirdsphoto.com/blog/?p=119 - (this is article compare 40D with E3) but for me this article small less than perfect why ? in 40d use 28-135 IS lens,why not using 17-40L or 28-70L or 24-105L - maybe 28-135 is kit lens 40D and 12-60 SWD is kit for E3 ... Read more

Fantastic form and function balance in design

Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: Robust features, colour fidelity, jpeg out of camera better than NIKON D300
Cons: Eyecup slides off to easily.
Opinion:
A great camera to to into the studio or out in nature's worst conditions. I shot with it on one of Canada's coldest night, minus 30c. Snow, rain even frost on this beauty is no problem.
I tried the 5D, found the focus to be slower and the build quality lacking. Tried the D300 and D200 and was not impressed with the colour and dynamic range compared to the E-3.
Olympus is giving E-3 cameras to many camera stores to loan out for 3 days free trial. So go ahead try and compare for yourself.
