Olympus E-3 (with 14mm-54mm lens) review
Excellent photo quality ; fast performance ; solid, dust- and splash-proof body ; flip-and-twist LCD ; large, 100 percent coverage viewfinder ; built-in wireless flash controller
Relatively low resolution for the price ; smallish LCD, some clunky design aspects
Despite some interface quirks and a slightly awkward design, the Olympus E-3 fares quite well against its midrange dSLR competition.

Built-in stabilization works for all lenses, 100% Coverage Viewfinder, Mostly accurate image colors, Effective dust-reduction system, Fast and responsive, Excellent build quality
Tendency to under-expose, Below average high-ISO performance, Poor automatic white-balance indoors, Heavy noise reduction at slow shutter-speeds, Slow focusing in low light, Poor ergonomics
While the E-3 is a great upgrade for someone with high-quality Olympus lenses...
