DigitalCameraInfo has posted their review of the Olympus E30 [QuickPrice Check], a semipro DSLR with "unacceptable noise levels and dynamic range." The Olympus E30 is vertically targeted to the artist photographers with six Art Filters, 12.3MP resolution high-speed Live-MOS sensor, multiple exposures, Digital Level Sensor, and swivel 2.7-in. LCD (230K dots), Face Detection, Shadow Adjustment Technology, Wireless Flash System, and Dust Reduction Technology.
This is a very interesting review because it comes to a diametrically opposite conclusion [though not necessarily test results] to the one DPReview did a few days ago where they concluded that the E-30 produces "superb [image quality], with excellent dynamic range and a slightly more subtle approach to color and contrast than we’re used to from Olympus, giving results that look great" out of the box. Do you see why we encourage you to always "get a second opinion" and then make up your own mind? Like the saying goes, "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" — behold!
