Creative Art Filter functions; articulated LCD; dual media card slots; impressive battery life.
High ISO image quality not as good as expected; sluggish autofocus in Live View mode.
Although it belongs to the midrange category, the E-30 is a fun to use dSLR with its Art Filter and multiple exposure function. However, we wish its performance was faster
The E-30 shares many of the E-3's key features at a price more suited to these straightened times.Dominating the back of the body is a 2.7-inch LCD that swivels and twists in almost any direction; when used with the Live View mode, it's the perfect way...

Bulky for a FourThirds Format camera! Viewfinder slightly blurry, not much more detail than E-3’s 10MP sensor, comprehensive feature set means complex menus
The E-30 provides a level of control and features most professional level DSLRs would appreciate and at a great price too...
In terms of image quality, performance, features, and design, the Olympus E-30 stacks up well against other digital SLRs in its price range. Its creative features are a plus, and we very much liked having the swing-out LCD screen. We were a little sur...
Olympus and Panasonic’s Four-Thirds system is growing up – the E30 (along with Panasonic’s G1) gives pro-level image and build quality in a compact, easy to use body. A built-in image stabiliser and a digital spirit level will keep your...
Olympus has packed the E30 with ‘zany’ Art Filters that create special effects inside the camera – although we can’t work why you would want your £1000 camera to pretend to be a crappy old film SLR (‘Grainy Film’ m...
Small, sexy and surprisingly efficient. And we’re not just talking about Heroes’ Hayden Panettiere – the E30 has superb image quality, rock-solid stabilisation and plenty of cutting-edge features.Olympus E30 is tagged with Olympus, E30...
The E-30 is a very capable camera and a worthy upgrade from the E-520 that will serve advanced enthusiasts well. The less-than-rugged build keeps it from seeing off the competition....
