The range-topping Olympus E-3 sports a 10Mp Live MOS chip and is the most professional digital SLR camera to date to carry the Olympus branding. Olympus launched its Four Thirds camera digital SLR system four years ago with the E-1. So it has taken...
To be picky, the Olympus E-3s auto white-balance performance is variable, something the manual itself acknowledges. Still, there are sufficient manual settings to correct it, and since this isnt a camera for the point-and-shoot brigade, those who en...

The E-3 is aimed at professional and well-heeled amateurs. It is built around the Four Thirds system and has a 10 megapixel sensor. As befits a professional camera, bound to take some hard knocks, it is rugged and well sealed against dust and water. E...
Picture quality is consistently good, although we found the default saturation and contrast settings a little high. The shooting information is displayed on a body-top LCD and on the preview screen as well as in the viewfinder. The 12–60mm f2.8&ndas...
