Olympus EVOLT E-3 Digital SLR Review

Think Camera have reviewed the new top of the range E-3 professional Olympus Digital SLR - the 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 £1087.

"The Olympus E-3 balances up its pros and cons into something of an equilibrium - to the point where excellent features are weighed down by standards that ought to be higher. Primarily it's the tricky layout, interface and buttons that are off-putting. Sure a little time buried in the manual solves a number of issues, but the often multi-button-pressing-thumb-spinny-ness just isn't distinctly user-friendly."
