Earlier in October we attended the Olympus E-3 digital SLR introduction party in New York City. A few days later I had a more detailed tech briefing on the new E-3 at the PhotoPlus Expo tradeshow. I met with Sally Smith Clemens and Toshiyuki Terada, Manager of DSLR Planning from Olympus Tokyo. At the meeting I got to see some of the guts of the E-3, including the image-stabilized Live MOS sensor assembly, the new auto focus drive system, and the specially formed magnesium camera chassis.
Improved Image Stabilization
The E-3 shares the same basic sensor-shift image stabilization system that the E-510 uses. However, Olympus has increased the sensitivity of the gyro motion sensor that detects camera movement. The E-510 was supposed to be able to compensate for up to three stops of movement. Olympus is claiming that the new E-3 DSLR can successfully shoot up to four or even five shutter speeds slower. We shot a little video of the mechanism to show you how it works. Notice how the imaging sensor moves when Sally�s finger touches the image stabilization gyro.
