Reviews

  • 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 9000

    The Mju 9000 is one of the nicest Olympus compacts we've tested. It's the smallest camera you can get with 10x optical zoom, and we would recommend it unreservedly if it was a little cheaper and didn't have as many issues with noise.

  • 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 E-30

    Though it has been surpassed by its competitors in video and image capturing capabilities, the E-30 presents a fun alternative to a run-of-the-mill dSLR.
