SLR Olympus E-30

If you are planning to get yourself a high end camera, then consider buying a SLR. The Olympus E-30 will capture your imagination and give you breathtaking photographs. With this camera, you will be definitely encouraged to take up photography at a professional level.

The camera is great for continuous photography, as it has a speed of 5 frames per second. An electronic pop-up flash makes the Olympus E-30 look genuinely small yet gives it the image of a professional’s device when operated. However, it is advised that the camera be handled with extreme care since its glass fiber enforced plastic body may be susceptible to scratches. This ordinarily will protect the camera from any damage if it falls down from your hand.

Its wide 2.7inch TFT LCD monitor will give you a clear view of what is being recorded in the camera. It is USB 2.0 compatible and has video out features for NTSC and PAL formats. This makes it ideal for connecting to a TV set. Optionally, you can even operate it with an infrared remote.

Like most SLRs, this is a bit on the heavy side, weighing over 700g including battery. Its 16 scene modes are best exploited when operated at its maximum 12.3 megapixel level. You may want extra battery power for your camera due to heavy usage. If that’s the case then you must buy an additional set of battery.

All said and done, this camera is a must buy for lovers of SLRs.
