I love Olympus DSLRs and currently own the E-1, E-500, E-510 & E-520, I had been holding out on the E-3 due to it's high price, but I eventually caved in and got one as I was finding my E-1 trailing in terms of resolution and missed the IS on the newer bodies. My first impression as I picked up and used the E-3 was very alien.... from Amazon.com Wouldn't you save $434.66 if you bought the very same E-3, the 12-60 lens and the FL-50R flash separately? I add them up to $2514.34, based upon Amazon's prices today (26 July 2009). from Amazon.com On my first day of field use the lens cap fell and broke. The second day of field use, the flash hotshoe cover was missing. from Amazon.com Olympus Evolt E-3 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera. Olympus Evolt E-3 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera with Mechanical Image Stabilization (Body Only) from Amazon.com Before I start the review: I was initially in the market for the E-30, but a special deal on the internet through Dodd Camera allowed me to get the E-3 for only $800, I could NOT pass up that deal! The Olympus E-3 is a fantastic product. from Amazon.com The E-3 has performed fantastic and I love the colors and image quality. I love Olympus and the Four-Thirds standard and the E-3 with the 50-200mm Zuiko lens is a fantastic pairing as is the 12-60mm lens. from Amazon.com The Olympus E-3, a 10.1 megapixel digital camera, is one of the top of the line professional DSLRs available. This is my primary camera, and I use two backup digital cameras and lenses, the E-510, and the E-500 for all wedding assignments. from Amazon.com This is a great camera and terrific lens. But for the unwary or uninformed: this price is beyond ridiculous. from Amazon.com I have an E-3 and bought this as a backup. I use Olympus cameras and lenses for professional work including weddings and sporting events. from Amazon.com I purchased this kit thru Amazon from Calumet Camera. First let me say that I love my e3. from Amazon.com
