Olympus E30 12.3MP Digital SLR with Image Stabilization 2.7 inch LCD Live View

Olympus E-30 DSLR is one of Olympus DSLR Camera which has been announced in March 2008. This DSLR camera can be categorized as mid-range because has complete features. For the ultimate in artistic expression, the E-30 offers six Art Filters, each of which uses different settings to create incredible photographic effects that would otherwise require additional lenses, filters or complex editing. And because sometimes the perfect shot can present itself in the blink of an eye, the E-30 boasts a range of high-speed performance features to make sure that you’ll always be ready for it: lightning-fast autofocus speeds, 5fps sequential shooting and shutter speeds of up to 1/8000th sec.

Olympus E-30 has many features including the fast 11-point auto-focus system, shutter speeds of up to 1/8000th second, 1/250th sec maximum flash sync speed, 5fps continuous shooting, built-in image stabilizer which stabilizes all lenses, Live View on a multi-angle LCD screen and the Supersonic Wave Filter dust reduction system. First impressions of the Olympus E-30 are that it’s very similar to its literally bigger brother, the E-3, with a familiar control layout. The E-30 is quite a lot smaller (141.5×107.5×75.0mm versus 142.5×116.5×74.5mm) and lighter (655g versus 810g) than the E-3, so if portability is an issue, the E-30 is the one to go for. Compared to its main rivals, the E-30 is very comparable to the Canon EOS 50D and Nikon D90.
