Photos: Hands on at the Olympus E-3 launch

The E-3 is the latest dSLR to use the Four Thirds lens system. The advantage of this system is that it's a cross-manufacturer standard, so the E-3 is compatible with a wide variety of lenses and accessories. One criticism of the system is that the size of the mirror limits the size of the viewfinder. The E-3 counters this by including 1.15x magnification.
