Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
PhotographyBLOG has posted a review of the Olympus SP-570 UZ.
The main selling point of the camera is the huge zoom, and this is one area where the SP-570UZ doesn’t disappoint. So long as you steer clear of f/8, the lens delivers excellent sharpness across its entire range.
The Online Photographer has published the fourth installment of its review of the Olympus E-3. This part deals the the Live View feature of the Olympus flagship DSLR.
The system works perfectly okay for static subjects, and for some things—notably macro photography of non-moving subjects, especially close to the ground—it can work a lot better than the regular optical viewfinder.

DC Views has reviewed the 18x optical zoom Olympus SP-570 UZ.
It can capture nice wide angle shots of landscapes or interiors while the tele lens is long enough to capture that bird on a wire as well. Handling is excellent and image quality is very good. Add to this a good image stabilisation system, shadow adjustment and face detection, and lots of manual control.
Camera Labs has posted a review of the new Olympus E-420 entry-level DSLR.
Indeed while being perfectly suitable as a primary DSLR, the E-420 and pancake lens will equally appeal to those with larger DSLRs looking for a secondary, smaller option – even if they use a different brand. These people may have been considering enthusiasts compacts like the Canon G9 or Sigma DP1, but by going only a little larger they could enjoy a fully-fledged DSLR with the power and flexibility that brings.

Photexels has posted a review of the new Olympus E-420.
The Olympus EVOLT E-420 is a good choice if you are thinking of upgrading from your point-and-shoot digicam. It is compact and light and comes closest to working like a P&S: its Live View pretty much works like on your P&S digicam; and, it has AUTO mode, plus easy-to-use Scene Modes, that make it point-and-shoot easy to capture great photos.
