Olympus

Advantages: many
Disadvantages: None

...This is a good quality product that offers good value for money in the very short term. Although as with most electronic products, the value will deteriorate over time and should be able to get a cheaper version next year. It's a great little device with plenty of features that I would highly recommend. This really is a wonderful piece of kit that should go well with many accessories because it really looks good. However, always think carefully as to whether you actually really need something before you buy it. We buy so many things nowadays that we don't really need. Other Features: 8.0 Megapixel CCD imager 3x optical (35 - 105mm 35mm equiv) zoom, 4x digital zoom Digital Image Stabilization and Built-in Help Guide TruePic TURBO Image Processor 2.5" color LCD and 10x playback zoom 16 shooting modes including AVI Motion...

Review of Olympus FE-250

A poor offering from Olympus

Advantages: Takes AAA batteries and....er.....er...hmmmm.... takes AAA batteries
Disadvantages: Awful screen, not user friendly, feels cheap and nasty, made out of inferior materials etc. etc.

...I needed a new digital camera and fast and only having the ability to get to Argos (because of the late night opening times) the camera had to be available from Argos. The other criteria I set included a minimum of 12 mega pixels, face detection, a large screen, powered by AAA batteries and costing no more than £100. With the large number of cameras satisfying my criteria I thought I would have no problems in finding something suitable, it?s just a shame the Argos in Norwich is so poor and seems to have very little stock, so my choice was limited. Since my first and second choices were out, I only had the option of three other models and the one I decided upon (without doing any research whatsoever) was the Olympus X-42. I had previously owned an Olympus and I was more than happy with it. I knew the Olympus brand and knew...

Review of Olympus X-42

Sleek and sexy OLYMPUS

Advantages: Great image Quality, terrific design, very easy to use
Disadvantages: none

...This Olympus FE-5000 with Resolution: 10 Megapixels, Optical Zoom: 5x and LCD: 2.7" with 16 shooting modes is a remarkable piece of equipment. it is sleek and stylish and will fit easily in your pocket.This is one of the cheaper digital cameras from the world famous brand. It has a great lens, which really helps in low light conditions. Its lens can capture light very efficiently. flash is pretty powerful for its size. Overall i would say if you have the budget to get one of these and you don't want to compromise the quality of your pictures, don't hesitate just go for it. Here's something that might interest you: All shutter delay times were about standard. A single photo took 0.32 seconds while five clocked 15.08 seconds. With flash, times were 0.55 seconds for one photo and 16.09 seconds for five. That's pretty good wouldn...

Olympus - the peak of cameras

Advantages: Superb Quality
Disadvantages: Expensive and big compared to the compacts

...marched ahead in terms of the resolution of its images. 10 mega pixels is more or less the top of the class for entry-level DSLRs, though that is now, in May 2007, - it will be a different story by October, no doubt. You can get higher - even 21MP in a Mamiya - but then you are talking professional cameras costing £8000.! Olympus has also achieved the lightest camera in its class - and that is worth thinking about if you are likely to be holding it for long periods, getting those perfect shots lined up. It is also a very small package, fitting nicely in the hand. When it was launched last year it was the smallest and lightest DSLR - Nikon have now launched a smaller one, but it only has 5MP. Olympus has pioneered its Super Sonic Wave Filter as a way of ensuring that dust and dirt do not get in the way of good pictures. A little blue...

Review of Olympus E-400

Olympus FE-3010

Advantages: slim, high quality photos
Disadvantages: loads slow, blurs are common

...2 weeks ago i bought the Olympus FE-3010 because of it is very cheap considering advanced features. 1.)Physical Appearance It has 2.7-inch LCD screen Super-slim (0.7-inch thick) metal body compatible with xD Picture Cards and microSD memory cards. The appearance is nice and comes in three colors: pink, black and silver. I own the pink one. the only problem i have with the apperance is the big "fe" written in the lower left corner of the camera. 2.) 12-megapixel resolution: This digital camera gives poster-sized superb quality photos which i personally appreciate. When I transferred the pictures in my computer it is very beautiful you can see all details in the photograph specially when you set the shoot mode to full 12 megapixel resolution and fine shots. 3.) 3x optical zoom: I was hoping for 5x optical zoom but for the price the 3x...

OLYMPUS VN-3100

Advantages: Record upto 36 hours, digital sound quality, compact device with mic
Disadvantages: Microphone not as effective as I thought

...The Olympus VN-3100 is known as a Dictation Machine, but I like to simply call it a portable voice recorder. In size it is not very big, thus being portable. It measures in at a length of 10 cm, a width of 3.5 cm and an overall depth of 1.7 cm. The top end of the the device has a depth of 1.3 cm and the bottom end which contains the batteries has a depth of 1.7 cm. The device is made in China, like many things are nowadays. The Olympus VN-3100 does not have a simple on/off button, but instead has a HOLD button on the top left hand side. To turn on the device you simply hold the HOLD button and pull it in a downwards direction. This in turn will turn on the device ready to be used. To turn it off push the HOLD button in an upwards direction. On the left-hand side there is also an area into which a USB cable is inserted in order to...

Review of Olympus VN-3100

Olympus E-30. Still not up there with the big boys?

Advantages: Fold out LCD screen, Image Stabilization, Zuiko lens quality, Picture quality, Flash options
Disadvantages: Noise in low light, Too many buttons, Badly laid out, Too many gimmicks

...The E-30 is Olympus's own stepping-stone between the so-called "prosumer" models (what an awful word) and the E-3 professional SLR, being loosely comparable with the likes of the Canon EOS 50D, the Nikon D90 and the Sony Alpha A-350. It shares a lot of the E-3's features and has even overtaken the E-3 in terms of resolution, offering 12mp compared with the E-3's 10. Unfortunately - or fortunately, depending on your opinion - some of its features are things that serious photographers don't really want on their cameras and definitely push the E-30 towards the hobby photographers rather than the professionals. The E-30 doesn't share the E-3's weatherproof casing, in fact it is built from a plastic/fibre-glass composite material, which helps to keep the weight down and, surprisingly to me, doesn't make it feel cheap. It does look...

Review of Olympus E-30

A winner from Olympus

Advantages: All weather build, great results
Disadvantages: No remote

...does have a standard camera screw on its base. I will obviously have to do more to test all the features out fully, but so far results are far above expected. Battery: On 1st day of mixed off and on shooting normally or with the flash with use ofediting and using LED light etc I got approx 9 hours use from a full charge. At this point the camera was still working but the battery icon went red. I would need to take some spares camping with me so found some for sale on a web site (Olympus versions) for approx £19 each. Advantages: Drop-proofShock-proofWater-proof Advertised being able to stand a 3m drop, 100kgs of shock and dive of 10m For me no concern over damage when cycling or water issues when camping. For outdoor use in all weathers down to -10 degrees C I can see this being used where dropping...
