30 Apr 2009FantasticThe E-3 has performed fantastic and I love the colors and image quality. I love Olympus and the Four-Thirds standard and the E-3 with the 50-200mm Zuiko lens is a fantastic pairing as is the 12-60mm lens. This camera is built like a tank, but is not as heavy as you would think. I love the balance of this camera when attached to the battery grip....–Scott B. Hustedfrom Amazon.com
29 Apr 2009atlantaMAXphoto Review of the Olympus E-3The Olympus E-3, a 10.1 megapixel digital camera, is one of the top of the line professional DSLRs available. This is my primary camera, and I use two backup digital cameras and lenses, the E-510, and the E-500 for all wedding assignments.
I have several Zuiko lenses from my OM days, and I also have the digital 14-54mm wide-angle to telephoto, f/2.8-3.5, and a 40-150mm telephoto zoom.

11 Apr 2009Great camera that holds its value!I have an E-3 and bought this as a backup. I use Olympus cameras and lenses for professional work including weddings and sporting events. High ISO is not a strong point of the system, but their glass is second to none! The supersonic wave system on olympus works while others can only begin to try and get their dust removal system up to par. I shot a motor vehicle accident for the local paper during a hail/ sleet storm. Camera and the 50-200mm were soaked.
got home. not one issue...–Anthony P. Laurofrom Amazon.com
