Olympus cameras have been well-known for their reliability, toughness and durability. If you want to be more serious about photography and take it to a whole new level, you better consider one of the Olympus DSLR cameras – the Olympus E3.
Comes with a 10.1 megapixel resolution, the E3 is an attractive package for both professionals and advanced amateurs. The Olympus E3 is furnished with a large optical viewfinder that provides one hundred percent accurate viewing and 1.15x magnification for reliable composition. Even fine details are seen with astounding clarity.
For composing your shot the E3 is also equipped with a 2.5 LCD monitor, a swiveling LCD which allows you to take pictures from odd angles.
Built on a magnesium alloy with a homogeneous composition, the Olympus E3 feels solid and strong. The E3 body alone, without a lens, weighs just about two pounds. Adding the lenses increases the hefty, but it’s a good heft to make the camera stable when taking pictures. This camera is sealed against dust and splashes, even the flash and the LCD.
One thing that set the E3 apart from its competitors would be the new auto focus sensor, an 11-point array, each point consisting of twin cross-type AF sensors. With this new sensor, the E3 delivered lightning-quick auto-focusing, noticeably faster than other cameras in its class.
Another thing is that the E3 is equipped with three dedicated processors to handle three different functions: one for autofocus, one for image stabilization, and the TruePic III for image processing.
Thanks to a proven technology dust reduction in the E3, with this Olympus camera, you’ll never find any spots on your photos. The E3’s Supersonic Wave Filter will silently shake more than 30,000 times per second, and dust is blasted away.
