Photos: Hands on at the Olympus E-3 launch

Like Mr Bond, the E-3 is pretty rugged. The metal frame takes a beating, while the seals and body are splashproof. As always, we can't wait to to test those claims... Olympus also boasts a professional quality shutter life of 150,000 photos.

Inside, things are kept clean courtesy of a supersonic wave filter dust-reduction system. This looks like a transparent trampoline in front of the sensor, which flexes to vibrate dust off the filter. That should keep Q happy.
