Olympus E-3: Flagship dSLR finally launches

Olympus claims the E-3 will capture shutter speeds of up to 1/8,000 second, and can manage 5 frames per second sequential shooting. When shooting raw footage, the camera is capable of buffering 19 images in burst mode.

Olympus claims that the 11-point autofocus system is the world's fastest. Intelligent Shadow Adjustment Technology (SAT), white balance adjustment, and exposure compensation are also featured to get the best out of tricky lighting conditions.
