I’ve taken better Photos with my E-3 just goofing around in the back yard.
Come on dude, you can do better, I know you can… ;O)

This truly is one of the best pro dSLR’s you can buy.
I’ve owned mine for about 8 Months and all I can say is it’s money well spent.
Another thing that bothers me is when reviewers give negative marks because it doesn’t capture video.
I know allot of dSLR’s out there have this feature but I can also say that after owning a Canon dSLR with video capture and having the whole Camera fail because of it makes me skiddish to own another dSLR capable of video capture.
I had the Canon for about 3 Months and might have used the video capture twice.
The Camera started showing allot of noise, even at low ISO’s so I took it in to see what was wrong.
The tech told me that the video capture circuit had went bad and that because it’s incorporated on the board with everything else, the whole board would have to be replaced.
Thank God it was still under warranty.
I got it fixed and sold it on eBay ASAP.

I’ll never own another dSLR with multiple functions again.

I can understand that the rich kid on the block would want this feature like ISO’s in the 3000 to 6000 range to facilitate a more point and shoot feel as well as capturing video.
Or the Photo Journalist who makes money off short video clips of some Hollywood star falling out of their car or getting a shot of some starlet in the dark, getting out of her car showing more than we want to see.

But for serious photographers these features are things we’ll never use, useless gadgets used to sell a Camera to rich kids.
People see Justin Timberlake with his big bag of Nikon toys shooting video with his dSLR and immediately have to run out in their Infinity SUV that will never see a day off road and buy everything they saw in the commercial.

I see the E-3 as a serious professional dSLR that is built like a Tank and will never let you down when you need it the most.

Sorry I’m old fashioned but if I need to shoot video, I have a Camcorder… :O)
