Olympus E-3 DSLR

• Rubber grip makes it comfortable
• Only weighs about 2 lbs. So you won't get tired of holding it for a marathon session
• LCD swivels for more flexible shooting
• The body is dust, weather, and splash proof
• Some of the menus are tough to get around in
• There are so many options that it can be intimidating
• The super control panel is helpful though since it has the most popular settings all on one screen
• All the direct access controls also appear in the viewfinder
• It's rated at about 5 frames a second which is about a mid-range speed for cameras of this price
• It's so fast that it really doesn't make a difference unless you're comparing it directly against another camera
• 10 megapixel sensor
• Colors looked great, even at automatic settings
• Autofocus is incredibly fast
• It only goes to ISO 3200, but that appears to help the amount of noise in its pictures. There is very little even at that high ISO setting
• It's made for the person who is upgrading from their entry-level DSLR to a professional system; this is basically entry-level pro.
• You'd have to pay almost $4000 to get a comparable camera with all of these features.
• Olympus put up an excellent camera for a great price in the market
• $1700 for just the body
