Olympus Digital SLR Cameras

Olympus is one of the giants of the photographic industry with a long history of innovation and creativity in consumer imaging products with many design awards conferred on design excellence both in Japan and abroad. Olympus was established on October 12, 1919 initially specializing in microscope and thermometer businesses.

Olympus continued this tradition through the development of camera lenses, starting in 1934 and two years later the Zuiko lens was born. Zuiko lenses were used in the Semi-Olympus and the Olympus-Six, as well as in the Olympus Reflex 2-lens reflex camera, laying the foundations of its future role as a camera manufacturer.

Fast forward into the digital imaging century and Olympus is still with us at the forefront with technological developments...

The flagship of the Four Thirds Standard-based Olympus E-System, the E-3, was announced 17 October 2007, giving photographers a truly professional tool that is primed for any assignment and satisfies the most stringent demands for D-SLR photography.

Matched to the new Olympus ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-60mm SWD (Supersonic Wave Drive) lens and an advanced AF system, the E-3 claims to have the world's fastest auto-focusing speed among interchangeable lenses for D-SLR cameras. With the camera itself offering shutter speeds of up to 1/8000th sec. and 5fps sequential shooting (with a 19 image RAW buffer in burst mode), the E-3 will truly a contender to evaluate.

Olympus continues with the launch of the E-30, E-30, incorporating an inspiring range of Art Filters that support the photographer's vision. The filters let moods be conveyed that would otherwise only be possible through the use of special lenses, add-on filters or via complex image processing techniques.

The E620, featuring the newer 12-megapixel sensor, with sensor-shift stabilization, along with a 2.7" LCD is next in the list of current advanced models from Olympus, and the list continues...

By Digital Photography Review

Olympus E-3 Review: 1. Introduction: Digital Photography Review
It almost seems pointless to talk about how the E-3 compares to its predecessor; the time gap between them is so great that they have very little in common; the E-3 is a totally new camera that has obviously been designed to go head-to-head with the likes of Nikon's D300 and Canon's 40D at the very top of the market,..
Olympus E-30 brief hands-on: Digital Photography Review
The price gap between the upper-entry-level Olympus E-520 and more expensive E-3 has always suggested there is room for a mid-range DSLR to sit between them. What's not been so clear is what features could be removed from the E-3 or added to the E-520 that would justify the increased price over one without cannibalizing sales of the other...
Olympus E-620 announced and previewed: Digital Photography Review
The new camera's easy-to-use Art Filters and Multiple Exposures (built right into the camera) are fun for consumers - whether you've been shooting for years or picked up your first digital camera today. Enjoy capturing creative images on the go ...
Olympus E-520 Review: 1. Introduction: Digital Photography Review
The Olympus E-520 is a refreshed version of Olympus's upper-entry-level camera, the E-510. As such it's a slightly bulked-up E-420 with image stabilization, which makes it one of the most feature-packed and customizable cameras available for under £500/$800...
Olympus launches E-450 compact DSLR: Digital Photography Review
It's perhaps a testament to how well specified the E-420 is that Olympus has clearly struggled for ways to improve it. For fear of treading on the toes of the recently announced E-620 (which itself stands uncomfortably close to the more expensive E-30),..
Olympus E-420 Review: 1. Introduction: Digital Photography Review
The Olympus E-420 is the most 'junior' member in Olympus line of digital SLRs. It was announced on the 5th March 2008, exactly one year after the launch of its predecessor, the E-410. Like the E-410 it comes with a 10 megapixel resolution, live-view...
