Olympus E-30
Front view of the E-30 with the Zuiko Digital 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 II lens. (Source: Olympus.) The body designs and ergonomics of the E-30 and E-3 look quite similar, although the E-30 has even more button controls than its 'big brother'.
Pros:
- You're looking for a small DSLR camera that can accept a wide range of relatively compact lenses
- You'd like to choose from the widest possible variety of image aspect ratios when shooting JPEG files
- You require sophisticated in-camera image stabilisation and effective dust reduction technology,
Cons:
- You want to shoot video (the E-30 can't)
- You're a low-light photography enthusiast or a sports photographer who requires faster continuous shooting speeds than 4 frames/second
- You're not prepared to grapple with the complexity of the controls and menu system

Olympus E-30 review
When we tested the Olympus E-3 in January 2008, we described it as ‘...a fine all-rounder and a jewel to use' and duly awarded it a mark of 90% and a coveted WDC Gold Award. We praised its build, image quality and general interface, and it looks like those comments must have filtered their way back...
Pros:
- Free-angle LCD screen
- build quality
- light body
- button layout
Cons:
- Pointless Art Filters
- tends to underexpose
- JPEG ISO performance

Olympus E-30 D-SLR, a photographer's treat
Photography is the most interesting and fascinating profession of all times. Whether it is the old folding type Zeiss Ikon, Balda or Houghton camera or the latest 12.3 mega pixel digital cameras, capturing and reproducing images is a marvelous invention.

Olympus E-30
The Olympus E-30 is the new mid-range model in Olympus's E-System DSLR line-up, slotting seamlessly into the gap between the cheaper, entry-level E-520 and the more expensive, professional E-3.

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.

Reviews: Olympus E-30: Review
In conclusion the Olympus E-30 is a great camera for users of all skill levels. A mid-rage D-SLR with the added features of photo software, the functionality of a point-and-shoot, and the high end functionality of an D-SLR, the E-30 is the best of both worlds.
