In Oct. 16, 2007, Olympus today launched the 10.1 megapixel E-3 digital SLR, the follow-up to the E-1. Olympus claims its new 11-point biaxial cross type autofocus system focuses faster than any other camera currently on the market. Other features include dust reduction, weatherproofing, mechanical image stabilization, a large magnification optical viewfinder, and a swiveling 2.5-inch Live View LCD screen. The Olympus E-3 body will retail for $1,699 when it is available next month.
The Olympus E-3’s autofocus system is its most touted feature. The twin cross type (fully biaxial) 11-point autofocus system is based on proprietary Olympus technology that uses a tooth-pattern phase detection sensor. Each of the 11 sensors has two data points, combining for a total of 22 data points to focus on both the horizontal and vertical axis. A second layer has 11 more cross focus points for an additional 22 data points, totaling 44 autofocus points readable by the sensor.
