Digital Camera Reviews

Here are two Olympus digital camera reviews that you may want to pay particular attention to. Whether you are an avid photographer or just someone that is just getting interested in digital cameras, you may find these two models to be appealing.

The Olympus EVOLT E-510 offers somewhat of a more traditional style than a few of the other digital cameras in the EVOLT line. This camera is a few millimeters wider and has a much deeper handgrip. This contributes to the camera's overall thickness, but it is much more comfortable to hold in your hand. Since this camera has a larger body, it will accommodate a bigger battery which gives it longer battery life. The E-510 lets images to be framed on its LCD screen. This digital camera has a live view function that comes from its 10 megapixel Live MOS image sensor. The E-510 stores pictures either on CompactFlash cards or on xD-Picture cards.

The image sensor of the EVOLT E-510 is mounted on a platter that allows movement in two directions. In this way, it allows for camera shake when you are dealing with longer exposures. Another feature of this digital camera is a 49-segment iESP metering system. It also has two other spot metering modes called the "Shadow Spot" and the "Highlight Spot".

As you would expect from this line of cameras, the E-510 it keeps Olympus' Supersonic Wave Filter. This feature, along with a high-frequency vibration of the camera's imager, removes dust from its surface and it also does not allow any dust to get into the body of the camera. It also has a new processor called the TruePic III which reduces image noise. The new EVOLT digital cameras are the very first ones to include this technology. Other pluses of this technology include quicker flash card write speeds, faster connectivity and an improved quality of the image. The Olympus EVOLT E-510 starts at a price of $799, but you are getting a professional grade camera for the money.

The next camera for you to consider in the Olympus digital camera reviews is the Olympus Stylus 820. It has an 8 megapixel CCD image sensor as will as a 5x optical zoom lens. It also has a body that can easily slip in your pocket. The 820 has a 2.7-inch LCD display and has a much higher resolution that is set at about 230,000 pixels. The 80 does not offer any other form of optical viewfinder other than the LCD display. This camera has an all-weather metal body that can handle inclement weather such as rain, sleet and snow.

Other features of the Olympus Stylus 820 include 20 scene modes, an ISO range of 50 to 3200, a very generous 47MB of built-in memory and it also has an xD-Picture card storage slot. This digital camera offers auto exposure and face detection autofocus. It is also able to adjust to shadows due to its Shadow Adjustment technology.

This line of the Olympus cameras is very reasonably priced at just $250. This camera does not have as many bells and whistles as the EVOLT E-510, but it is still a substantial little camera and is more than adequate to do a nice job for you.
