* No weather sealing (nice to have, but not a huge weakness for me)
For the advanced photographer, this camera really shines. I’ve had mine about 6 weeks and every time I use it I love it more. The ergonomics are great. For me, a woman with average sized hands with long fingers, this camera handles like a dream. Sure, it’s hefty, but I rather like that for its steadying effect. The build is solid and the finish speaks of high quality. Not toy-like or plasticky. Exactly what you’d expect in a camera of this caliber, but typical of all Olympus DSLRs regardless of price point. Olympus is well known for innovation and including new features even on entry-level cameras (in body IS, Live View, effective sensor dust removal etc). I wouldn't recommend the E-30 to a new photographer, but I would enthusiastically to one who has a few years under their belt and who wants a camera that is long on features, quality and durability.
Customer Service I have not had the pleasure of working with Olympus directly so cannot comment. From other reports though I hear it is excellent. Similar Products Used: A 1st generation Olympus DSLR - the E-300 which was my first digital camera after 20 years of using manual 35mm Olympus cameras and lenses. |
