Olympus E-3 (with 14mm-54mm lens) review

By Lori Grunin (cnet.com)

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.

Olympus E-3 Review

By Cybernium (neocamera.com)

The Olympus E-3 is certainly the most capable 4/3 DSLR to date. It has plenty of pro-features: a viewfinder with 100% coverage, built-in image stabilization, a weather-proof body and 5 FPS continuous drive. It is certainly as good as several

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...
