Not just astro, but low light also. A camera which can do 30 minute exposures is low noise. Try a long exposure in older Oly at ISO 400 and you will be greeted by crazy hot pixels and severe noise.
Since E-3 offers a 4 hour bulb mode, it actually means that olympus thinks that the noise levels on this sensor will be low.
