Flagships are named such because they are the best and/or most important in the group. There can be none better. Is it any wonder, therefore, that the Olympus E3 digital SLR is named the flagship of its class? With technology advancing at breakneck speeds, Olympus manages to be groundbreaking, remaining ahead of the crowd. The E3 is a camera for the professional.

The Live View LCD monitor can actually swing out from the camera and swivels to a 270 degree angel for easy view from multiple directions. You can shoot your subject by looking through the viewfinder, allowing you to come from back behind the camera to intermingle with your clients. The Olympus E3 has a patented Supersonic Wave Filter (SSWF) that will supersonically vibrate the dust and debris from your camera to a collector unit within the body of the camera. This will allow you to be able to shoot pictures without dust speckle or unwanted noise. Multiple lenses can be interchanged on this model, so the SSWF would also alleviate any worries of getting dirt inside the camera that may ruin your images. Are you in search of extreme speeds when it comes to Auto Focusing? When you use the Zuiko Digital Specific Lenses and the Zuiko Supersonic Wave Drive lenses, the E3 can have the fastest AF speeds in the world, per Olympus. "The only truly weatherproof DSLR available" is testimony to the durability and rugged construction of the model, making it perfect for underwater photography, or general photography out in the elements. Flash can be added using the built-in flash or by augmenting your purchase with the wireless remote controls for lighting. With the remote, you can control several flashes at once, adding for a better balanced photograph.

Have you ever wanted to preview images after you've changed settings in the camera to make sure you have correctly figured everything for your masterpiece? With the Olympus E3 you can turn off the Live View Boost while you set everything up and then preview what you have. Alternately, you can leave Live View Boost on and the camera will automatically adjust brightness levels to your perfect shot. There are two ways to save your images: raw and jpeg. The raw image will give you the highest quality recording mode available with the camera and is saved with minimal compression. Balances and contrasts are virtually unchanged. With the jpeg your camera will compress the image to make it smaller, and sometimes your image will lose pixels or dots of information.

The multitude of features that the Olympus E3 carries is formidable to its competitors. Besides the white balance controls, you can also have full control over color, exposure and the scene you are shooting. Time-lapse photography is possible through computer hook up. The ISO and Image Stabilization will support your shooting in low light or bright light situations.

This camera is loaded with so much that others will quiver in your presence. The Olympus E3 is even the camera of choice to take into space on missions to the International Space Station. With that kind of testimony to strength, how can you miss?
