Fast focus, live view, dust reduction, great build, good images

Pictures are a little soft in some situations at high magnification, some competing models offer faster burst mode

E-3 is a great SLR and Olympus's best model to date. While it may not usurp the dominant forces of Canon and Nikon in this space, its combination of great features and good quality pictures make it a viable alternative for people after something a...

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...

Articulating LCD. Live view. Mechanical image stabilization. Fast autofocus. Excellent image quality in nearly all environments. Well-placed buttons.

Large body. Small LCD. Unintuitive menu system. Flash shots slightly underexposed at times. ; Watch the Olympus E-3 Video Review!

Rotating, swiveling LCD with live view ; Very quick autofocusing

Very heavy

This big, heavy, rugged camera has extensive advanced controls, fast burst-shooting speed, and can autofocus very quickly.

The comfiest eyepiece. One-touch menu access to nearly 20 functions. The quickest focusing. Articulating LCD makes Live View a real asset, instead of an afterthought

The back of the camera is a jumble. The 2.5-inch LCD is smallish compared with competitors. Employs Olympus’s XD memory card format, instead of SD, as the second memory card slot. Presently only two super-fast focusing lenses in the quiver

Excellent build quality, weatherproofing, 150,000 shot shutter life Big, bright viewfinder with 100% view Articulated screen Effective sensor-shift image stabilization Very fast focus with new SWD lenses (less impressive with other lenses, however)...

Resolution not as good as best in class (stronger AA filter?), though you won't see it in JPEGs Highlight dynamic range not quite as good as competitors (better than other E-Series cameras): Some highlight clipping on bright days unless you reduce...

If you've taken the trouble to read every page of this review you'll already have a good idea where this conclusion is likely to go. To start with there's no doubt that the E-3 is, without a shadow of a doubt the best Four-Thirds camera ever made and a...

Great set of features ; Very high image quality ; Good value for money

Controls take a bit of getting used to

Olympus did everything they possibly could to make a camera that could match the build quality and imaging performance of the much-loved E-1. In this they have succeeded by a good margin. The E-3 is rugged and a delight to shoot with. It deserves to do...

To be picky, the Olympus E-3's auto white-balance performance is variable, something the manual itself acknowledges. Still, there are sufficient manual settings to correct it, and since this isn't a camera for the point-and-shoot brigade, those who...
