Olympus Enhances DSLR Line With E-3 (Three New Lenses)

 

When combined with the E-3, the 12-60mm f2.8-4.0 SWD offers the "fastest autofocus in the world," the ED 50-200mm f2.8-3.5 SWD focuses at twice speed of previous Zuiko models of its size, and the ED 14-35mm f2.0 offers one of the brightest fixed aperture lenses in its class.

The three new Zuiko Digital being introduced are the ED 12-60mm f2.8-4.0 SWD, the ED 50-200mm f2.8-3.5 SWD, and the ED 14-35mm f2.0.

Olympus extended its Digital SLR camera line late yesterday, with the introduction of the E-3 DSLR and three new Zuiko Digital lenses.

The flagship model of the company's DSLR line, Olympus is claiming that their new E-3 possesses the "fastest autofocus in the world.

All three new lenses use Olympus's Supersonic Wave Drive, which offers quick and quiet autofocus.

The camera also features dust reduction technology and Olympus's Full Time Live View LCD , a dual-axis variable-angle monitor that makes it easier to capture wide angle shots.

The E-3 also boasts a 10-megapixel Live MOS image sensor.

The E-3's Body-Integrated Mechanical Image Stabilization helps stabilizes lenses, while its magnesium alloy body is dust- and splash-proof.

The E-3 will be available next month for a suggested price of $1,699.
