The editors didn't like

  • AF hunts around a bit when presented with busy scenes
  • Rotational angle of LCD could be a bit more flexible and the screen itself could be enlargd to 3-inches if we're being picky
  • White balance occasionally delivers colours a little on the cool side
  • Price is a little high
  • LCD could be bigger
  • Some softness in large images
  • Some image issues in low light and extreme light
  • Large body. Small LCD. Unintuitive menu system. Flash shots slightly underexposed at times.
  • JPEG images a bit noisy above ISO 800
  • Requires expensive Supersonic Wave Drive lenses for maximum focusing speed.
  • Very heavy
  • The back of the camera is a jumble. The 2.5inch LCD is smallish compared with competitors. Employs Olympuss XD memory card format
  • Instead of SD
  • As the second memory card slot. Presently only two superfast focusing lenses in the quiver.Camera Resolution

  • Olympus E3 digitale reflex cameraDe afgelopen jaren hebben we heel wat DSLRs van Olympus voorbij zien komen, maar het duurde lang voordat er weer een opvolger van de E-1 kwam. Olympus wilde blijkbaar eerst een en ander uittesten voor ze de professionele f...

  • Abstract:  Olympus E-3 är en trevlig bekantskap som uppvisar ett i huvudsak genomtänkt yttre. Den har alla de nya heta funktionerna och en behaglig snabbhet vid autofokusering

  • Abstract:  Det tog några år för Olympus att ta fram en efterföljare till E-1, men resultatet var helt klart värt att vänta på. E-3 är utrustad med en sensor på 10,1 megapixlar, en optisk bildstabilisator, ett ruskigt snabbt autofokussystem och en intressant...

  • Når det kommer nye kameraer på markedet, er det ofte at produsenten skryter så voldsomt av det, at når vi får kameraet til test er forventningene så høye at vi blir skuffet. Det er ikke tilfellet med Olympus E-3. Riktignok lovet de mye, men i all hove...

  • Abstract:  System E Olympusa większości kojarzy się z małymi, amatorskimi lustrzankami, często o bardzo oryginalnej budowie. Tymczasem pierwszym korpusem serii E był duży, profesjonalny korpus E-1 zaprezentowany w 2003 roku. Nie zdobył on większej popularności – zan...
