Olympus E-P2
Less than six months after the E-P1 was announced, Olympus has come out of the starting gates with the E-P2, an incremental update to the retro-inspired camera.
-
Olympus Mju 7020
We're a bit ambivalent about the Olympus Mju 7020. It's got a wide-angle lens and a relatively long zoom at 7x, but misses out on good picture quality and class-leading features like HD movie recording.
-
Olympus E-450
Olympus has announced yet another camera to contend for the title of the world's smallest dSLR. It's not much of an evolution from the E-420, but has a couple of extra features that have trickled down from its older siblings.
-
Olympus SP-590 UZ
Aside from a debatable, but useful, 26x zoom lens, there's little that's notable about the Olympus SP-590 UZ.
-
Olympus Mju Tough 6000
Though we tried to like the Tough 6000 thanks to its candybar styling, it's a fairly lacklustre camera in the performance stakes.
-
Olympus Mju Tough 8000
While the Tough 8000 may be the most rugged camera on the market, it doesn't mean it's the best in terms of image quality and performance.
-
Olympus Mju 7000
The Mju 7000 features a 12-megapixel sensor, as well as a 7x optical zoom and Olympus' beauty function, which is designed to enhance pictures of faces.
-
Olympus SP-565 Ultra Zoom
With 20x optical zoom and a tiny footprint, the SP-565 UZ is a competent superzoom, let down by some lens and picture issues.
