The Olympus E-30 is the newest addition to the interchangeable-lens digital SLRs (single lens reflex) camera within the Olympus E-System lineup. This new 12.3-megapixel, FourThirds-compliant camera reinforces the company’s commitment to the standard. Positioned as a mid-level model, this new digital SLR camera is intended for anyone who wants to express their creativity through photography, whether they are just starting out or are a professional with years of experience behind them.
The E-30 is a camera that has the speed of the E-3 and the freedom to express oneself with a variety of new creative features, from Art Filters that will let you control the way the image looks from a grainy black and white film to exaggerated colors. From the ability to shoot traditional multiple exposures in Live View for a wedding photographer, to the untraditional multiple exposure of the artistic, the E-30 is the camera for the creative shooter who wants to think differently and shoot in new ways.
Pros
- Excellent out-of-camera JPEG results with good Dynamic Range, pleasing color and subtle tonality
- Bright clear viewfinder far better than most Four Thirds cameras
- Slightly improved resolution and pixel level sharpness over E-3
- Good range of image parameters (but not enough latitude in terms of contrast and saturation)
- Efficient DR enhancement setting (Auto-Gradation)
- Efficient sensor-shift image stabilization system (around 2.5 stops)
- Vertical panning image stabilizer mode
- Solid build quality and excellent handling – very well balanced with kit lens
- Probably the best ergonomics of any Olympus camera yet, and one of the most ‘photographer friendly’ control layouts in its class
- Large range of customization options and comprehensive feature set
- Clear and bright articulated screen
- Intuitive ‘Super Control Panel’ allows quick access to all important shooting settings
- Contrast-detect AF in live view (though see cons, below)
- AF fine-tuning per AF-point
- Decent battery life
- Optional battery grip
- Wireless flash system (with certain Olympus flash guns)
- Good range of live view viewing options including white balance and exposure compensation preview
- Supersonic Wave Filter ensures no dust on sensor (small point: would sometimes be nice to be able to turn it off for faster startup; there’s custom functions for everything else)
- Art filters give interesting creative options
- Digital spirit level
- Speedy and responsive overall performance, short shutter lag
- Fast focus with new SWD lenses (less impressive with other lenses, however)
- Excellent color, good daylight white balance
- User control over ISO noise reduction (’Noise Filter’)
- Up to ten times magnification in Live View for manual focus
- Black and white mode with selectable filters
- Kelvin white balance option, all white balance presets fine tunable
- Fully customizable RAW+JPEG (many competitors have fixed JPEG settings)
- Spot metering with shadow and highlight based spot
- Mirror lock-up with custom delay
- In-camera RAW development and JPEG image editing
Cons
- Resolution not quite as good as best in class, though you won’t see it in JPEGs
- Higher noise levels/noise reduction at higher sensitivities than its best competitors
- Not much highlight headroom in raw files (around half a stop)
- Unreliable auto white balance and presets in artificial light
- Nice though it may be, the viewfinder is visibly smaller than the E-3 and APS-C cameras in this class
- Lower resolution screen than the competition
- Long, unstructured menus make finding some settings frustrating (though to be honest you’re not likely to be spending too much time in the menus)
- Live histogram and preview brightness inaccurate if you use Live Preview Boost.
- Contrast detect AF slow and incompatible with many lenses
- Art filters ‘baked in’ – no controls over effects – and some take way too long to apply
- Can’t flip between Art Filters in live view mode (forced to use a menu)
- Flash must be raised for AF assist (no dedicated AF assist lamp)
- Autofocus in auto AF point selection mode a bit jumpy
- Base sensitivity is almost certainly ISO 200 – shooting at ISO 100 loses you almost a stop of dynamic range. This is not indicated anywhere in the manual or on the camera

Digital Concepts TR-60N Camera Tripod

Featuring a quick-release plate that makes it a breeze to switch to handheld shooting and a professional grip for fluid 3-way panning and tilt, the TR-60N lets you capture images from any angle you can imagine. The tripod can extend to a height of 55 inches when in use, and collapse to just 22 inches for travel or storage. For your convenience, a carrying case is included. Lightweight, versatile, and affordable, the Digital Concepts TR-60N is a great tripod for photographers of all levels of experience.
Technical Details
- Lightweight and collapsible to 22 inches
- Suitable for most digital and film cameras, as well as camcorders
- Quick release mount for easy transition to handheld shooting
- Professional grip for fluid 3-way panning and tilt
- Comes with carrying case
Pros:
- Light
- Stabilizer hook
- Carry handle
- Carry case dual liquid bubbles
- Quite study for the price
Cons: materials used may not be the best quality.
Overall, this is a decent bargain tripod. The legs appear to be aluminum, and most of the rest of the unit is plastic or PVC. It has a quick-release head for attaching your camera but it only comes with one quick-release attachment, which sort of reduces the utility of it.
