Olympus E-3
The Olympus E-3 is a Four Thirds digital SLR introduced in 2007 as Olympus's professional-tier body, slotting above the consumer E-series and aimed at working photographers who needed a weather-sealed system camera.
With only a single UK auction record to draw on, the available data point shows a hammer price of £110 in January 2026 — a wholesale saleroom result, not a dealer asking price. On that limited evidence the E-3 is currently worth around the low-to-mid £100s today, though one sale is too thin a sample to define a reliable range, and condition, shutter count and bundled lenses will swing what an example actually sells for.
