Olympus EVOLT E-3 DSLR Field Review

Luminous Landscape have published their field review of the new Olympus E-3 Digital SLR. The new top of the range professional Olympus Digital SLR camera features a 10 megapixel LiveMOS / Live view sensor, "World's fastest autofocus* for quick and precise image capture", 5fps sequential shooting with 19 image RAW buffer, built-in image stabiliser, 2.5" swivel screen, Shadow Adjustment Technology, dust reduction system (Supersonic Wave Filter), Splashproof body and lens system, High sensitivity (ISO 100-3200), and 11 point AF. The E-3 is available for £1069.

"The E3 definitely has an advantage in high ISO noise. Although the E510 is no slouch in this area, the E3 clearly is doing a better job. The E3 produces professional grade photographic output, has the system accessories to handle a wide range of assignments, and is tough enough to withstand daily hard use."
