  Review summary: Less than -1000 can buy you Olympus' latest Pro camera. But how professional is a 10MP camera-
  
  Verdict: What the Olympus E3 brings to the table is excellent images, a great build quality, and a lovely user experience, but fails to match the innovation of the E-1, or even other models from the Olympus range. Instead it's taken the best bits, refined them ...

  Review: Olympus E-3
  By Ben Long
  
  Review summary: It's big and brawny, and Olympus's new DSLR can handle the elements. It's high-ISO performance isn't as good as Nikon's D300 or Canon's EOS 40D, but the E-3's overall image quality is very good.
  
  Pros: Very good image quality ; full environmental seals ; tilt/shift LCD screen with live view ; fast auto-focus
  
  Cons: Not as good as the competition at high ISO ; control layout is a little cumbersome ; lacks customizability ; menus are too complex
  
  Verdict: Weighing almost two pounds, the E-3 isn't light, but it's comfortable to hold

  Review summary: Updated 12/23/08: The 10.1-megapixel E3, the top dog in Olympus's line of digital single-lens-reflex (DSLR) cameras, is an attractive package for both pros and serious amateurs. You have to be serious about your photography--and have plenty of arm ...
  
  Pros: Rotating, swiveling LCD with live view Very quick autofocusing
  
  Cons: Very heavy
  
  Verdict: Overall, I enjoyed using the E3. It feels comfortable in the hand, its magnesium body looks and feels durable--ready for extensive time in the field--and operating the controls is quick and efficient. And unlike my experience with many cameras, I ...
