Every two years Cologne, Germany hosts the largest photo trade show in the world. This year, I covered it in record time using a crystal ball and the internet.

It looks like a mini DSLR–but it’s not. It has an electronic viewfinder and interchangeable lenses, so it’s not a typical EVF camera. Can we call it an EVI (electronic viewfinder interchangeable) and leave off “lens” for obvious reasons? (EVIL)

Does this $3,000 camera, with its 24.6MP full frame, image-stabilized sensor and gorgeous optical viewfinder pack enough pro pizzazz to win over Canon and Nikon shooters? I took it for a test drive to find out.

The new Canon EOS 50D and the Nikon D90 are hot–and affordable–digital SLRs for advanced photographers. But which one has the best bang for the buck? The debate is on.

For years Olympus has lagged behind Canon and Nikon when it came to sales of advanced-amateur and pro-level DSLRs. One reason? Sluggish autofocus. Now that the E-3 fixes that problem, can Olympus finally get the respect it deserves?
