Olympus hasn't even launched its new pro-grade E-3 and already the company has come up with two special offers for the first people to get their hands on the camera. As a 'thank you' to its many loyal D-SLR customers, Olympus is offering all current E-System camera owners a free HLD-4 power grip with the purchase of the new E-3. The HLD-4 power grip extends battery life and also features a second shutter release to facilitate ease of use while working in portrait format.
All current E-System camera owners who register their new Olympus E-3 before 31 December 2007 are eligible to receive the free power grip. For more details, please visit: Powergrip details
Olympus is also offering a free E-System pro backpack to who express their interest between now and 30 November 2007, and then register a new E-3 camera by 31 December 2007. The pro backpack features a waterproof zipper, a quick-access opening and space for a notebook. For more details, please visit: Pro Backpack details
Sales of the new Olympus E-3 will commence late November 2007.
