Olympus E-30 reviewed by HardwareZone

From the review:

The E-30, as many might have guessed, utilizes the Four Thirds system, which has gained a huge following since the inception just a while back. In terms of its aspect ratio, the E-30 comes with a standard 4:3 aspect ratio, but offers a variety of up to nine different aspect ratios. Building on Olympus' earlier E-3 features, the 11-point, twin-cross AF sensor makes another appearance on the new E-30.

How about its build quality and aesthetic appearance? Safe to say, when we held the E-30 for the first time, one thing comes to mind: weight. Though bordering on the heftier side, the E-30's weight does give it the additional stability one requires for trickier shots. For live viewing purposes (in conjunction with its Live MOS sensor), there's a 2.7-inch LCD screen with a flexible 176 degree viewing angle. Essentially, this brings up the possibility of taking more shots at awkward angles, without the awkwardness.
