Olympus Camera Reviews

Olympus PEN Mini E-PM2 Review
The Olympus PEN family of cameras have consistently scored well in my reviews, and the PEN E-PM2 adds to that legacy, offering another really strong small digital interchangeable lens (DIL) camera.

Olympus VR-350 Review
The Olympus VR-350 camera struggles with the basics of photography, including below average response times, image quality that's hit and miss, and small control buttons.

Olympus VG-160 Review
Although the Olympus VG-160 isn't going to provide impressive features, this camera does compare pretty favorably to other really inexpensive models.

Olympus SZ-10 Review
Placing an 18X zoom lens in a camera that costs less than $200 represents a strong new price point for the Olympus SZ-10.

Olympus PEN Mini E-PM1 Review
Olympus has had another very successful design in its PEN family of DIL cameras, thanks to the extremely thin and lightweight PEN Mini. It's one of the best digital interchangeable lens cameras on the market for beginners.

Olympus SZ-30MR Review
If you're looking for a large zoom camera that also offers some style, you don't have a lot of options. The Olympus SZ-30MR is one such camera, as it has a 24X optical zoom lens. The price is a little high, but not many cameras like it are on the market.

Olympus PEN Lite E-PL3 Review
Kodak's EasyShare Touch camera is extremely easy to use, and its touch screen works well. If the camera's image quality was just a little better, it would be one of Kodak's best models.

Olympus PEN E-PL1 DIL Review
Those looking for an "intermediate" camera -- one that can serve as a bridge for a photographer wanting to move from a point and shoot camera to a more advanced model -- will want to pay attention to the E-PL1 from Olympus.

Olympus Stylus Tough 8010 Review
You'll find a camera with good "tough" features in my Olympus Stylus Tough 8010 review. However, the Stylus Tough 8010 could use a few better photography features for a camera in its price range.

Olympus Stylus 7010 Review
My review of the Olympus Stylus 7010 camera shows a low-priced digital camera with a strong zoom lens and a good overall feature set. The menu structure and the controls could be a little easier to use, but the Stylus 7010 represents a good value for beginning photographers.

Olympus Stylus Tough 6000 Review
My Olympus Stylus Tough 6000 review reveals a digital camera that offers some good features for beginning photographers. Best of all, though, this camera can take some abuse, making it a great option for shooting photos in extreme conditions.

Olympus Stylus Tough 8000 Review
Olympus' Stylus Tough 8000 offers a nice mix of handy features while living up to the "tough" in its name. It can survive a fall of about 6 feet, and it will work in below-freezing temperatures.

Olympus E-620 Review
For those seeking an entry-level DSLR camera, my Olympus E-620 review finds a camera that provides a good starting point, even though it has no video mode.
