Pictures are a little soft in some situations at high magnification
Some competing models offer faster burst mode The Final Word E-3 is a great SLR and Olympuss best model to date. While it may not usurp the dominant forces of Canon and Nikon in this...

The E-3 offers a more solid build than most D-SLRs and this alone makes it a solid option for those who shoot in extreme situations. There´s no doubt it´s the best Olympus D-SLR yet and will certainly prove a serious competitor to Canon and Nikon...
Excellent image quality, good ergonomics and build, menu system, comprehensive feature set and customisability, super control panel, top plate display, responsive, good dust reduction system, great weather sealing
Fastest focus rate only available with Olympus’ Super Sonic Wave drive lenses, bulky for its class but particularly for a FourThirds Format camera! Cramped top plate buttons, not much headroom in RAW files, complex menus
Olympus’ new flagship DSLR replaces the now very long in the tooth E1 and bridges that gap for Olympus aficionados between enthusiast and professional shooting. It’s big, heavy, and very capable but not without its flaws...
