Olympus E-30 DSLR: Fits between E-520/E-3

When looking for an Olympus DSLR, most people want the high-end E-3 but the $1,499 is enough to put most off. Consumers have got the choice to go for the E-520, but that has not got half the features of the E-3. Olympus has come up with something in between, the E-30 DSLR.

The new camera bridges the gap perfectly, but still carries a high price tag of $1,299, a lot when money is hard to come by at the moment. The good advantage that the E-30 has over the E-3 is that it has a higher megapixel sensor.

The new Olympus DSLR offers in-body image stabilization and Live View, making photo taking much easier. The camera has a large 2.7-inch LCD view screen, which has been borrowed from the E-520, as well as taking the E-3’s 11-point auto-focus function. The Olympus E-30 DSLR is not so much a new camera, but rather a mix and match of a number of other Olympus cameras.
