What Olympus Says About The E-3:

Speed and Reliability
The new range-topping Olympus E-3 is designed for the professional photographer and advanced enthusiasts requiring super fast auto-focus and responsiveness in a camera that delivers professional level image quality. Industry leading image stabilisation, with outstanding system portability and rugged reliability provides the photographer with a camera that can be confidently used in the most challenging climatic environments.

World's Fastest Autofocus
Featuring the world's fastest autofocus capability*, the E-3 uses an 11 point Full-Twin Cross AF sensor that provides outstandingly fast and accurate autofocus even in low light conditions of -2 EV.

Unlike conventional AF sensors that typically utilise single array cross sensors, the E-3's AF sensor features 11 cross sensors, all with twin line arrays to achieve maximum detection speed and accurate sensing even in very low light or low contrast shooting conditions.

Combined with the all new Olympus designed Supersonic Wave Drive (SWD) lens drive mechanism such as that used in the new Pro range standard wide zoom, the 12-60mm SWD lens, the E-3 provides swift and accurate focusing for a wide range of photography applications from fast moving reportage and sport, to low light portraiture and studio photography. Non-SWD Zuiko Digital lenses will likewise benefit from the enhanced AF capability of the E-3 so that users will experience a noticeable AF speed increase when the E-3 is used with their existing Olympus Zuiko Digital lenses.

In the field, a five-frames per second sequential shooting capability in RAW quality mode with a top shutter speed of 1/8000th of a second provides the photographer with a camera that's capable of capturing fast-moving dynamic action shots.

Excellent, I was very impressed. Ordered at 11:55am (Perth time), camera and other items shipped before 2pm my time, and arrived the following morning. Prices were already great but the discount that was applied just made it even better! One problem is that the payment submit form took a LONG time to go through, minutes, which made me think it was about to time out... maybe put some more resources behind that process. Otherwise excellent, will definitely recommend to others.
