Olympus E-30 reviewed by DigitalCameraReview


David Rasnake at DigitalCameraReview has posted a text and video review of the E-30 from Olympus, an "advanced amateur" or "prosumer" DSLR for 2009, featuring a 12.3 Megapixel Live MOS sensor, 2.7 inch LCD, a bunch of preset modes and some bells and whistles. A high performer in the shutter lag field, it offers consumer-friendly art filters and most of the E-3 features in a smaller body.

From the review:

When Olympus decides to take on any new DSLR project, two things are almost certain. First, you can bet that whatever they've got planned, they'll roll it out on their own schedule. And second, that they'll put a slightly different spin on a familiar idea. Whether you think the much debated decision to lead development efforts for the open-format Four Thirds system has been a smart move or not, it's hard not to respect Olympus for being a little "above the fray" when it come to the rampant copy-cat behavior in the quest for consumer dollars.
