Quick review
- The good
- Excellent image quality, good ergonomics, menu system, comprehensive and creative feature set, customisability, super control panel, top plate display, responsive, good dust reduction system, handling
- The bad
- Bulky for a FourThirds Format camera! Viewfinder slightly blurry, not much more detail than E-3’s 10MP sensor, comprehensive feature set means complex menus
- Verdict
- The E-30 provides a level of control and features most professional level DSLRs would appreciate and at a great price too
- Key specs
- 12 megapixels, CompactFlash, Li-ion battery, xD-Picture card
