Olympus E-450 review

The 10-megapixel E-450 makes a number of subtle but welcome improvements over its predecessor, the E-420, and, as a result, is a worthwhile entry-level digital SLR. Offering good picture quality, comfortable handling and diminutive dimensions, it's a strong contender if you're looking to step up from a compact Read more

Olympus Pen E-PL1 review

In the 12.3-megapixel Pen E-PL1, Olympus has finally made a Micro Four Thirds camera for the masses. It's cheaper and more plasticky than its predecessors, the Pen E-P1 and Pen E-P2, but it's actually superior. It offers better handling, more versatility, and really excellent picture quality Read more

Olympus mju 1030SW review

The Olympus mju 1030SW is a very tough and rugged 10-megapixel compact camera. It works to water depths of 10m, can be dropped from 2m and can even withstand a 100kg force. The camera takes great pics and is perfect for use in extreme conditions. Menus are easy to navigate Read more

Olympus E-620 review

The 12-megapixel E-620 is a solid and inexpensive entry-level digital SLR. Because it offers a host of advanced features and its interface is more complicated than it needs to be, some beginners might be put off. But those that persevere will be rewarded with good performance and picture quality Read more

Olympus mju Tough-8000 review

If you're looking for a compact camera that can withstand extraordinary levels of abuse, you might want to check out the mju Tough-8000, particularly as it also functions perfectly well as an everyday camera. The lens could be sharper but, otherwise, you have to look pretty hard to find any flaws with this beast Read more

Olympus FE-180 review

Olympus's 6-megapixel FE-180 is a rare example of a camera with a well-built automatic system -- there are hardly any manual controls, but it still takes a decent image. Basically, the camera runs almost completely on autopilot. It's just the thing for a casual photographer on a budget Read more

Olympus u [mju:] Digital 800 review

With 8 megapixels, aperture- and shutter-priority exposure controls and a top-notch built-in help guide, the compact, 3x-zoom mju Digital 800 sits solidly at the top of Olympus' weather-resistant-camera lineup. It's also one of the smallest and most affordable 8-megapixel cameras on the market Read more

Olympus mju Tough-3000 review

The 12-megapixel mju Tough-3000 compact camera offers a good combination of features, durability, convenience and affordability. As with most rugged cameras, you won't get exhibition-quality prints from the 3000, but adrenaline junkies should give it a perusal Read more

An ultracompact, 5-megapixel camera with a full metal body, a 51mm LCD and a 3x zoom lens, the Olympus FE-5500 also boasts a built-in help feature that gives you onscreen guidance as to which automated mode or feature to select. It's got stiff competition, but the sub-£200 price tag should help Read more
