There’s no point denying the stronghold that Nikon and Canon currently have over the high-end enthusiast and professional digital SLR market, but that’s not to say it will stay that way forever - especially when Olympus can produce a competitive unit with all the appropriate stylings and functions expected of a semi/professional DSLR: introducing the Olympus E-3.
Upon initial handling it is obvious that the E-3 is ready to play it with the big boys: its rugged metal alloy body weighs 810g (without lens), is as solid as a rock and equally durable, and has weatherproof sealing that means dust and splashes needn’t be a concern. There are upwards of 30 buttons, dials and input/outputs on the body alone, not to mention a 270-degree 2.5” swivel HyperCrystal LCD screen. So, if you haven’t had DSLR experience before, take a deep breath and get ready for a whole new shooting experience!
Be warned though, you will need to read the comprehensive 156-page instruction manual cover-to-cover in order to get the most out of the E-3. Thankfully, it does double as a shooting guide with hints and tips for most situations included and you won’t be too overwhelmed with excessive camera-speak - just simple explanations and diagrams throughout.

Ball Girl Great Catch Video Picked Up by MSNBC…
Youtube Video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEbJcnjiyH0
The video circulating the Internet these days looks at first like any other snippet of a minor league baseball game, right down to the announcer’s play-by-play banter.
Then comes a hit to left field and, out of nowhere, the ball girl executes an amazing, Spider-Man-like move up the wall to catch the foul ball, tossing it nonchalantly back to a flabbergasted player before taking her seat again.
At this point, the 39-second video seems more like one of those outtakes you might see replayed endlessly on the big screen between innings. In fact, the video in question is an ad for Gatorade, although your only hint that that’s the case is a bottle of the sports drink that the ball girl sips upon taking her seat again.

This is the same religious nut who just announced today that he wants to be McCain’s Vice President. Mike Huckabee once advocated isolating AIDS patients from the general public, opposed increased federal funding in the search for a cure and said homosexuality could “pose a dangerous public health risk.” Do we want a Religious Nut as a V.President?

“Five years ago Greg Lasrado drove a $500,000 black Lamborghini Diablo, rubbed shoulders with people such as Bill Clinton, lived between multimillion-dollar penthouses and bought racehorses for fun. Today his sole asset is a rusty ute, he lives in his parents’ spare bedroom and spends most weekends helping his mum with the housework.” A great read.
