Digital Cameras Ratings: E-3 10.1 Megapixel Pro Slr Digital Camera With E 12-60mm Ed Zoom Lens Kit Review

Average Reviews:
3.0 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)This is a great camera and terrific lens. But for the unwary or uninformed: this price is beyond ridiculous. The E-3, body-only, goes for $1350 now, the Zuiko 12-60mm lens for less than $1000. How these folks are getting away with charging $5325 for the two I can't imagine.

Product Description:
Kit includes: 1) Olympus E-3 Digital SLR Camera; 2) Olympus 12-60mm Zuiko Digital The Olympus E-3 Digital SLR Camera features the world's fastest auto-focusing speeds thanks to an advanced AF system and new ZUIKO DIGITAL SWD (Supersonic Wave Drive) lenses. Matched with shutter speeds of up to 1/8000th sec. and 5fps sequential shooting (with a 19 image RAW buffer in burst mode), the E-3 gives photographers a crucial edge to help capture that decisive shot. Ensuring the best image quality in the widest range of situations, this professional model also incorporates a powerful built-in image stabilization system which is capable of compensating against the effects of camera shake to the equivalent of up to 5 EV steps. This is complemented by a 10 Megapixel High Speed Live MOS sensor and Olympus' TruePic III image processing engine. Together with the ZUIKO DIGITAL lenses, photographers can rely on optimal results each time. Meanwhile, the camera's Live View capabilities provide the freedom to shoot with more versatility: Whether wanting to keep eye-contact with the subject or shooting above the head or close to the ground, compositions can be framed with ease on the 2.5"/6.4cm multi-angle HyperCrystal LCD, which also faithfully displays the effect of camera adjustments in real time. Like all Olympus E-System cameras, the E-3 incorporates the most effective dust reduction system available - the Supersonic Wave Filter. The Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 12-60mm f/2.8-4.0 SWD lens is a high-performance standard zoom lens that covers a zoom range equivalent to 24 to 120mm on a 35mm camera lens. This lens also boasts impressive close-up shooting capability, allowing users to shoot from as close as 25cm throughout the zoom range. The lens' autofocus is powered by Supersonic Wave Drive Technology. Designed to be the world's fastest AF system, this extraordinary autofocus drive provides both high speed and high precision while operating with lower noise than ever.
