Olympus E-30 Digital SLR Camera (12 megapixels, Live View, Image Stabilizer) housing (electronics)

Customer Review

First of all: I'm counting here, not every single component on, since they are already described above.
The E-30 is a very good camera for amateur photographers as well as for semi-professionals.
One can classify the camera switches between the E-3 and E-520, which it strongly goes towards E-3.
The E-30 has 12.3 Mp and yet provides a good noise performance. It is even a bit sharper than the E-3. However, the camera tends laboratory test to a slight red tinge. In practice, I could not festellen that.
The biggest difference to the E-3 is that the E-30 is not completely waterproof and has no magnesium core. Nevertheless, the E-30 is fuel-proof.
The E-30 has inherited many things from its big sister the E-3. For example, the "fastest Autofokua the world" with 11 AF points and the swiveling display.
Of course, here the kind of filter to be even mentioned. I find that a little gimmick "only". However, you can really have fun with this. The advantage which is that you can already consider the LifeView mode the effect and the effect erparen a filter processing on the PC.
What little "gimmick" I really like is the leveling. Olympus has verabaut an electronic level in the body, indicating the inclination in the x and y range. At first I was very skeptical, but once tried, the skepticism was transformed into enthusiasm. The scale will definitely display (the E-30 has a total of three, if you count the viewfinder with this: screen, viewfinder and LCD screen on) appears and really is accurate. Since I am a notorious Camera Holder wrong seems to me this function very good.
I know that here not even a lot of the functions describe, but subtleties can be read in a variety of tests on the WWW.
-> Conclusion: The price is quite lush, but you get a very good camera. It is user friendly and provides gestalltet good image quality. For absolute beginners, this camera is not suitable. Although it has a fully automatic program, but the full functionality is so exhausted. As a newcomer it is better for e-4xxx or e-5xxx series access.
