Olympus E-3

By Rich Trenholm (cnet.co.uk)

The long-awaited Olympus E-3 blasts on the dSLR scene with its feature-rich live view and a dust and splash-proof body. It bursts through shots with an unstoppable quality to its performance, and it certainly bowled us over with its professional, straight...

Excellent pictures; easily mastered control system; strong implementation of live view; powerful burst mode

Resolution isn't as high as rivals; quirky flash controls; screen feels small

Accessible controls and multi-talented live view make the Olympus E-3 friendlier than other higher-end models, with unstinting burst mode and admirable picture quality making it worth considering for professionals. It's a little heavy and the screen isn't...

Olympus E-3 Digital SLR

By (trustedreviews.com)

Less than -1000 can buy you Olympus' latest Pro camera. But how professional is a 10MP camera-

What the Olympus E3 brings to the table is excellent images, a great build quality, and a lovely user experience, but fails to match the innovation of the E-1, or even other models from the Olympus range. Instead it's taken the best bits, refined them and...

Olympus E-3 (w/ 12-60mm lens) review

By harold67 (cnet.com)

After having used many DSLR's from different ... 

Excellent photo quality; fast performance; solid, dust- and splash-proof body; flip-and-twist LCD; large, 100 percent coverage viewfinder; built-in wireless flash controller.

Relatively low resolution for the price; smallish LCD, some clunky design aspects.

Despite some interface quirks and a slightly awkward design, the Olympus E-3 fares quite well against its midrange dSLR competition.

Olympus E-3

By jimroy (cnet.com.au)

I like the Olympus design philosophy. A company not afraid to go it alone with new ideas (that are often adopted later by the pack).

Build quality, sensor quality, superb lenses (in pro and super-pro grades), remote flash capability, live-view for those tricky situations. Price.

Looks generic. Doesn't have the individualism of the E-1. I prefer the door closure mechanisms on the E-1. Still no PC synch socket built into FL series flashes.
