Olympus EVOLT E-1 Digital SLR Review

Thew's Reviews have reviewed the Olympus EVOLT E-1 Digital SLR - a 5 megapixel weather sealed digital SLR from 2003, based on the 4/3rds standard it features a Magnesium alloy body, Unique dust protection filter (SSWF), Dust & Splashproof protective body, USB2, and a 1.8" screen.

"The E-1 turned out to be a really good camera. Apparently when Olympus says "pro" they mean build quality and reliability, which is always reserved for the top-tier models no matter which camera brand you choose. It just happens that Olympus's top is at an affordable and accessible price. This is the main reason why I use Olympus cameras today: a weather-sealed lens and body for $2500 simply had no competitors."

The first groundbreaking Olympus Micro Four Thirds model impresses with its incredibly small size, retro style, and ease of use – without giving up any of the benefits of D-SLR quality. This new ultra-compact hybrid device can even record HD quality movies with depth of field and Art Filter effects familiar from still photography. Naturally, the E-P1 packs all the advantages of Olympus imaging technology e.g. image stabilisation, a dust reduction system, and bright interchangeable lenses. It will be available for purchase in July 2009 at a retail price of €800."

"The E-30 is a brave attempt by Olympus to offer something different in the mid-range DSLR market, with a strong emphasis on in-camera creative effects that actually prove to be fun to use. The Multiple Exposure mode in particular is a great example of making a traditional photographic technique easier. Sure, you can replicate most of the E-30's artistic filters on a computer, but there's something to be said for being able to do it instantly and even preview the effect before you press the shutter button."

"However, the E-30 is better to handle, the controls have been slightly relocated and adjusted to deliver more pleasing ergonomics. Unlike the E-3, the camera doesn't seem to get in the way of itself. To me it is a definite notch up on the E-3 in the handling stakes. For folks upgrading from the E-4 & 5XX models the handling will seem strange to start with but will soon prove a revelation as it is well thought out and delivered."

"Where the E-520 truly shines is in collecting all of the features available on the current entry-level dSLR market in a single device, and in doing many of them better than the competition. Where it stumbles is in the basics: image sharpness, detail, and noise control. The Olympus does those things well, but the competition generally does them better."

For around $600 you get a camera that has features for both beginners and enthusiasts, good photo quality (in most situations), image stabilization, and responsive performance -- plus one of the better kit lenses on the market. The E-520 does have its flaws, though, including soft images, high ISO performance that's just fair, and the tendency to clip highlights."

Other highlights will include a new and updated feature to replace the current splash and dustproof function of the E-3."

"The good news is that the Olympus does a better job of optimizing its JPEGs than just about any other DSLR we can think of - just about all the detail and dynamic range the sensor is capable of is visible in the JPEG. Unfortunately, it's an inescapable conclusion that the sensor simply isn't capturing the detail and range of tones that its peers are capable of."

Olympus EVOLT E-3 Digital SLR Review

Megapixel.net have published their review of the new top of the range E-3 professional Olympus Digital SLR - the camera features a 10 megapixel LiveMOS / Live view sensor, "World's fastest autofocus", 5fps sequential shooting with 19 image RAW buffer, built-in image stabiliser, 2.5" swivel screen, Shadow Adjustment Technology, dust reduction system (Supersonic Wave Filter), Splashproof body and lens system, High sensitivity (ISO 100-3200), and 11 point AF. The E-3 is available for £945.

"The Olympus E-3 takes outstanding photographs indoors as well as out. Its exposure system does an excellent job of analyzing the lighting in a scene and producing arresting photographs. On most occasions, I found the 12-60mm telephoto lens (24-120mm approximate equivalent) very versatile in nabbing the shot that I wanted when I wanted it."

Olympus EVOLT E-520 DSLR Review

Digital Camera Info have reviewed the new Olympus EVOLT E-520 Digital SLR - an update to the Olympus EVOLT E-510 - it features a 10 megapixel sensor, image stabilisation, face detection, shadow adjustment, dust protection, autofocus live view, 3.5 fps shooting, ISO1600, and a larger 2.7" screen. The E-520 is available for £497 with kit lens or £553 with twin lens kit.

"The E-520 is a camera that manages to package a significant number of excellent features and solid controls into a great body, but really let itself down in our performance testing. There’s one of the best Live View modes on the market (with auto focus), a good image stabilization system that’s built into the body, comprehensive presets and a high degree of customizability and control."

Photography BLOG have reviewed the new Olympus EVOLT E-520 Digital SLR - an update to the Olympus EVOLT E-510 - it features a 10 megapixel sensor, image stabilisation, face detection, shadow adjustment, dust protection, autofocus live view, 3.5 fps shooting, ISO1600, and a larger 2.7" screen. The E-520 is available for £540 with kit lens or £599 with twin lens kit.

"A fully-fledged mid-range DSLR in a compact body, at an entry-level price – this is how one could distill the essence of the Olympus E-520 into one sentence. The new camera inherits the very well designed body, efficient handling and semi-professional feature set of its predecessor, and gains important capabilities such as wireless TTL flash control, Shadow Adjustment Technology and contrast-detect auto-focus in Live View."

Digital SLRs are now available for under £200!

Many of last years Digital SLRs can now be bought for less than £200 from ebay UK - including the Pentax K100D with lens (pictured), Olympus E-410 with lens and Olympus E-300 with lens. Whilst they may no longer be the latest models, they should offer a good budget entry into the Digital SLR world, and should offer good low light performance.

Olympus EVOLT E-520 Digital SLR Review

LetsGoDigital have reviewed the new Olympus EVOLT E-520 Digital SLR - an update to the Olympus EVOLT E-510 - it features a 10 megapixel sensor, image stabilisation, face detection, shadow adjustment, dust protection, autofocus live view, 3.5 fps shooting, ISO1600, and a larger 2.7" screen. The E-520 is available for £540 with kit lens or £599 with twin lens kit.

"If you look solely at the camera's specifications, you might want to classify the E-520 as a minor update of the E-510. However, in addition to the number of features that have been added, for example, improvement of Live View or the application of the Shadow Adjustment technology, the image sensor and, with it, the image quality have been improved tremendously."

Olympus EVOLT E-3 Digital SLR Review

The Online Photographer have published a six-part review and guide to the new top of the range E-3 professional Olympus Digital SLR - the camera features a 10 megapixel LiveMOS / Live view sensor, "World's fastest autofocus", 5fps sequential shooting with 19 image RAW buffer, built-in image stabiliser, 2.5" swivel screen, Shadow Adjustment Technology, dust reduction system (Supersonic Wave Filter), Splashproof body and lens system, High sensitivity (ISO 100-3200), and 11 point AF. The E-3 is available for £945.

"On the strength side, the E-3 offers good performance across what has become the usual range of SLR technologies, including some, like autofocus and wireless flash, where Olympus had previously lagged significantly behind the leaders. Importantly, it also collects together cool and useful new technologies like in-camera image stabilization and a decent (for today) implementation of Live View."
