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 only reservation we have about this camera applies to all in the Four Thirds camp – the sensor area is smaller than the more conventional APS-C cameras. This means that the photo receptors are smaller and therefore noise is slightly more noticea...

The Olympus E-3 is a fine camera, but whether it will woo professionals away from their Canons and Nikons with larger sensors and bigger installed lens and accessorie bases remains to be seen. The price seems about right by comparison with the competit...
