I upgraded recently from Olympus E-500, it was my first digital camera and used it for 3 years before getting the E-3. I found the move extremely satisfying, the E-3 was what I was looking for after exploring the features of the E-500 fully. The E-3 build is superb, I used it in rain and snow without any problems. The image quality is very good, noise is better controlled than the E-500. I upgraded my lenses with the ZD 12-60 SWD and the ZD 50-200 SWD whose quality is unsurpassed so far. I recommend this camera to any serious photographer but not to a beginner because it has a high learning curve.

Problems:

Almost none, however after getting the HLD4 battery grip, I noticed that when using only one battery in it, the camera stops sometimes after the mirror lifts up and I have to reset it with the power switch. I have to get it serviced since it is still under warranty. With 2 batteries there is no problem whatsoever. Also sometimes the autofocus seems to hunt in low light.
