Technical information sheet of E-3 body only

Olympus proudly presents the E-3! Built with a highly resistant magnesium-alloy case, this camera produces beautiful images packed with detail captured by its 11.8 megapixel Live MOS sensor and image stabilising system. Like most Olympus cameras, the E-3 comes with the efficient Supersonic Wave Filter to prevent dust from collecting on the sensor. It also boasts one of the most impressive autofocus systems for quick and precise image capture, even with different lenses, and its performances are heightened even further by the dual Compact Flash and xD memory card reader. The E-3 also has a Live View mode that enables you to monitor your photos on the camera?s 2.5? screen while you're taking them, and you?ll also be able to take perfect snaps in poor lighting conditions thanks to its high ISO sensitivity. The E-3 provides the highest levels of speed and image quality no matter what the conditions. With so many features on offer, professional photographers will love this model?s reliability. It's not surprising that this camera won the EISA (European Imaging and Sound Association) prize in the digital SLR camera category.
