The E-3 ($1699) is the flagship camera in Olympus' digital SLR lineup. It is the long-awaited follow-up to the E-1, which was introduced way back in 2001 (back when our reviews were in purple). Olympus didn't just slap a new badge on the E-1 and call it the E-3 -- this camera is new from the ground up. Some of the highlights on the E-3 include:
* A 10.1 effective Megapixel LiveMOS sensor
* Sensor-shift image stabilization
* Live view on a flip-out, rotating 2.5" LCD display
* World's fastest autofocus when paired with the 12 - 60 mm SWD lens pictured above (according to Olympus)
* Shoots at 5 frames/second
* Weather-sealed, very well-built body
* Dust reduction system
* Large optical viewfinder
* Dual memory card slots (xD + CF)
* Hot shoe and flash sync port; supports wireless flashes straight out of the box
And there's a lot more too, and I'll cover those features in the review of the E-3, which starts right now!
