As my first ever camera was an Olympus OM-1 I have fond memories of the Olympus brand. When Nikon and Canon lead the way in the pro arena with models like the F3 and F1n Olympus beavered away on models that were lighter and quieter. but lacked in durability so when AF arrived Canon and Nikon both lead, leaving Olympus to concentrate on compact cameras. Now things have changed.
The E-1 made a small dent in the pro arena but this all-new E-3 looks set to reshape Olympus' pro business and become a serious competitor in the field.
Olympus invited a selection of photography magazine editors from around Europe for an exclusive trial of the E3. I joined them for the event in Istanbul on what they'd hoped would be a sunny day but turned out to be wetter than a typical UK day in April. Luckily the camera has waterproof seals!
It was quite a rushed experience giving us a flavour/opportunity to sample many of the camera's features over three assignments - a fashion shoot, an editorial travel assignment and a low light architectural feature.
