Popophoto gave a very good review on Olympus E-3

This is the comment on the Image quality:-
"Performance? The E-3 did incredibly well in the Pop Photo Lab's image quality tests, challenging (though not outperforming) the 12.3MP Nikon D300 ($1,800, body only), tested in this issue. It earned a similar Excellent image quality rating all the way up to ISO 3200 when shooting in RAW mode."
In term of autofocus speed:-
"We discovered that in very bright light (EV 12 to 8), the E-3 was a speed demon at 0.3 sec -- a fraction of a second behind the leader in that brightness range, the Sony Alpha 700 (0.24 sec), and nearly identical to the Nikon D300 and Canon EOS 40D. In normal light (EV 6 to 4), the E-3 squeaked ahead of the D300 and fell behind the Sony, while holding its own against the Canon. In low light (EV 3 to EV 0), it slowed the way the Sony did and trailed the Canon and D300."
I am very happy that Olympus have given the hope to all 4/3 users..and shows the world that 4/3 can outperform canon and nikon in certain situation.
Digital camera magazine issue 67 even give a rating at 90+-% compare to 80+- % (cant remember the exact figure)for sony A700...
we hope to see the improvement in image quality in the next olympus flagship SLR..
and from the review...i learn a new thing...in low light shoot RAW :)
