I uploaded an improved review, my previous one turned out to be not all that helpful, maybe this one is better. Let me know by clicking Yes! :)

A quick summary:

Olympus made major improvements to their pro line in almost every facet-- structural, design, robustness, lens and imaging performance.

The SWD lens performance paired with this body is outstanding, as you'll see in my video demo. The imaging sensor and processor are very good also. Noise levels are on par with the Digic3 processors from Canon. A fantastic buy, I highly recommend this camera for both professional and serious photo enthusiasts. There are plenty of very good ind-depth, technical reviews available. Here are a few I recommend:

Thank you for taking the time to video some of the very useful features of the E3. The five frames/sec shot was really cool.
Thanks again.

Great video - a "real life" example in poor lighting of tremendous speed - thats faster than my Nikon D200 and imo can easily compete with the D300 from Nikon (close call). No doubt Olympus have a winner on their hands with the E-1. Again good video - improve the audio a bit and keep posting videos like these.

Happy Holidays!

It's nice to see someone taking the time to do a hand's on review from the non-pro's perspective. Your video demonstrated the significant improvement in the E-3's AF over the E-1, and in inside lighting conditions. I would have been interested also to see a low-light AF test. The 5 fps test also instructive; as was showing what comes in the standard kit.
Thanks again.

I just purchased this camera online today. Your review, video and links helped me decide that this is the perfect camera for me after months of researching. I can't wait for my camera to arrive.

I noticed that when you were explaining what came with the camera, you did not include batteries. I assume they came with batteries too? I understand that I need to purchase XD and compact flash. Is there anything else I need to get so I am ready to use this camera when it arrives?

edit: purchase a lens cap keeper to avoid losing or breaking the lens cap. watch for the remote cable and flash caps, hotshoe cover, and optical view eye piece. They tend to fall off easy. Other users tend to have this problem. Olympus need to correct this problem.
