Olympus D-340L.

Viewfinder:.

Built-in flash can be used simultaneously with external flash for bounce/fill combo. Olympus FE-110. Together the two lenses span 10.7x. I tried using Live View mode at first to help me frame the shots, but the shutter lag did get in the way after a bit.4.1 million sensor photo detectors. Shutter speed from 1/2 sec. Canon PIXMA MP610 Printer.

My mode saves up to four camera configurations for later recall, handy on a camera with so many options. 36.7 mm - 35 mm (0.9x) zoom lens. According to our tests, the Olympus E-410 captured 15 Large/Fine JPEG images before the buffer filled, then it took only five seconds to save all images to the card. Choose a variety of accessories which can be used with different Olympus camera models. With digital,.35 mm fixed lens. At wide angle, minimum aperture is a relatively slow f/3.5, and I didn't want to risk high image noise using digital image stabilization, so a few blurry landscape shots told me it was time to head home and put the camera away. And the initial results show that my experience and Olympus's claims for their edge-to-edge sharpness are indeed valid, at least in the first lens we've tested.

The E-410 might indeed be a good camera for use in dusty environments, but please wait for the dust to settle before you change lenses. As I mentioned, the buttons and dials are great on the E-410, but the digital interface is important too. It seems like the spring on the retention latch is a little strong, and the pack doesn't come out far enough to grasp. Reviews for more. I've been shooting the E-410 and E-510 for more than a few weeks, living with the cameras and using them for my personal photography (hence all the kids).

"You can also just trust that the Olympus E-510 will focus properly, press the shutter all the way, and it will usually focus right before it fires."

Olympus says they analyzed thousands of photos to determine the most common positions of the primary subjects in photos to determine where to place the E-3's 11 autofocus points. Most of the light (we're told 80%) is reflected out the optical viewfinder. Digital Camera Wholesalers. (Mju 410 Digital).

Olympus EVOLT E-330. I also found that the E-410 didn't always make the right decision for proper exposure, producing underexposed, flat images. (Mju 770 SW Digital). That's the time between when you press the shutter button and when the camera actually captures an image.But in Live View mode, the E-410 is slower than most digicams, let alone most SLRs.

But Olympus argued that digital sensors themselves required a different approach to avoid light falloff in the corners, among other problems. But as I've spent time with both cameras, I have been surprised by just how often I use Live View mode. The image sensor is mounted on a platter allowing movement in two directions, so as to mechanically correct for camera shake in longer exposures. Another major highlight to the Olympus E-3 is the articulating LCD on the camera back, which makes Live View mode so much more valuable. Olympus Stylus 830 Digital Camera - Preview - The Imaging Resource!I submit that they should have either built-in an electronic viewfinder shutter that closes automatically, or let the shutter-close switch also activate Live View. Olympus's implementation of the Status display makes adjusting most settings very easy. Because the LCD is somewhat dim in bright sunlight, these images seem badly underexposed; but if you adjust the exposure for a better appearance on the LCD, you'll blow the highlights even worse. Dim optical viewfinders aren't comfortable to use over time.

Olympus C-2020 Zoom.

8.5 million sensor photo detectors. Flash and Drive mode buttons are on the left of the top deck, and a very common set of buttons is on the back. You could call it a crime in progress (see the Gallery images for the painter crouched over the bench: images YP4160884.JPG, YP41608845.JPG, and YP4160887.JPG).Read user reviews (110). The E-410, like the E-510, uses both CF cards (CompactFlash) and xD cards. Olympus D-620L. The original OM-series spanned three decades, culminating in the OM-4T, an innovative, albeit manual-focus camera that was finally discontinued in 2002.

The LCD view on our pre-release sample is big and bright, though, and excellent for composing images. While its image quality may not stand up to some of the competition and its feature set won't necessarily impress, the Olympus Stylus 770 SW is one tough camera that will go where no other point-and-shoot models can (or should) go. The '790 includes an Olympus-branded 3x optical zoom with a 38 - 114mm equivalent focal length range and F3.5 - 5.0 maximum aperture, folded by a prism to allow the lens to be mounted at right angles to the front of the camera. Very good low light performance.They're either built into the chip for the 49 exposure sensors, part of the Live View A sensors, or else--as the A:mode diagram below seems to illustrate (and as we think we can see looking into the front of the camera body), the main reflex mirror is also partially transmissive in nature, concealing another mirror that reflects onto AF sensors nestled in the right side of the exposure chamber. According to our tests, the Olympus E-510 captured 15 Large/Fine JPEG images before the buffer filled, then it took only two seconds to save all images to the card.

Though the E-510 has many of the semi-pro features of the Canon EOS 20D and 30D, you can see it's a little smaller. On one hand, no other camera can check focus this thoroughly before capture, as modern optical digicam viewfinders do very little to help your eye confirm focus like the big bright ground glass focusing screens on 35mm cameras used to do. Shutter speeds from 1/4,000 to 60 seconds, with a Bulb setting (8 minute limit). Reviews / Previews. Olympus D-370. Olympus Stylus 730.Read user reviews (89). Faster shutter speeds help freeze subject motion, something that beginning photographers either don't know about, or don't have time to think about. Read user reviews (51).

Pro Lenses. Digital camera timeline. The Olympus SP-550 UZ ships with the following items in the box:.And driven it out of our cameras." Then it goes on to describe a scene where the protagonist in the story has the confidence to change lenses while quads race past, "with dust swirling everywhere.". The on-camera flash is very small, and offers very poor coverage at the camera's wide angle setting. (Mju 830 Digital).

It turns out that you can actually change the release priority to allow the camera to fire if the flash isn't fully charged, but it also removes the condition that the camera achieve focus before shutter release. By default, exposures are determined with Olympus' Digital ESP multi-pattern metering, with spot metering also available. Read user reviews (91). But to draw a live image from the sensor, the mirror must be up and the shutter open, blocking the autofocus and metering sensors. Olympus SP-700.

• Olympus D-490 Zoom.
• Although the monitor brightens under low light conditions, the monitor sometimes lagged when gaining up so it appeared to blink from dark to light and back again.
• Lens hood (kit only).
• Late afternoon/early evening shots were a little more difficult, however.

The first thing you notice with the E-330 is that it's big and wide.

For the other manufacturers, it means that existing SLR system users can make the switch to digital without having to replace their expensive lens collections, and will be familiar with the controls and handling of their new camera. The EVOLT E-510 couples its ten effective megapixel N-MOS image sensor with the same Four Thirds lens mount used in previous E-series digital SLRs, and compatible with lenses from all Four Thirds manufacturers. Black and white and sepia effects are also available in playback mode along with resizing, the option to tag and organize images as favorites, and the ability to retrieve images by the date they were shot via a calendar. We were able to try Olympus E-3 with the Zuiko 12-60mm SWD, which offers the equivalent of a 24-120mm lens, and were impressed. Because the LCD is somewhat dim in bright sunlight, these images seem badly underexposed; but if you adjust the exposure for a better appearance on the LCD, you'll blow the highlights even worse. Fireworks mode.

"As well as still images, the camera can also capture movies at VGA or lower resolution, at a rate of 30 frames per second."

Four new lenses and a 2.0x teleconverter were also announced with the Olympus E-3: the Zuiko 12-60mm f/2.8-4.0 SWD; the Zuiko 50-200mm f/2.8-3.5 SWD; the Zuiko 14-35mm f/2.0 SWD; and the Zuiko 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6. Print Page. Olympus never produced an autofocus SLR system with interchangeable lenses, which is why it was easy for them to let go of the manual-focus OM-series and build an entirely new system designed around a smaller sensor, which they dubbed Four-Thirds (you can find out more about the Four-Thirds system at www.four-thirds.org.) Unlike other manufacturers, all with an existing base of AF lenses to support with their new digital SLR designs, Olympus could afford to start fresh. For comparison, if you shoot with the optical viewfinder, the shutter lag does full autofocus and fires in 0.35 second; and if you prefocus, it's a blazing 0.091 second. And with its basic feature set, outdoor enthusiasts -- regardless of whether they're on the slopes or under the sea -- can spend their time enjoying their activities rather than fussing with camera settings.

The Olympus SP-550 UZ is an attractive digicam. Olympus D-540 Zoom. 610 shots. As the market for digital SLRs gets more crowded, we can expect more and more attempts at product differentiation. Interchangeable lens mount accommodates Olympus Zuiko four thirds Digital lenses.Though its Live View mode is not what it many will expect, introducing extreme shutter lag, it is quite useful on occasion, allowing you to get shots you couldn't otherwise.
