Great camera
1 of 1 found this helpful This is a replacement camera for an older Olympus E510 that I had had for many years, but an unfortunate accident damaged the LCD screen, so it was time to upgrade. The E30 was the last in the Evolt series, and by far the best. This model was last produced in 2010 (I think, or close to that), and I purchased this one used from a dealer. I had wanted newer model, but Olympus made the newer models lenses incompatible with the Evolts,and I have 3 great lenses from my E510.
Overall the E30 is a big improvement. It has a higher megapixel sensor, at 12.8 vs 10, but by todays standards that is not very high, but it is plenty to be able to print large pictures without pixelation. The flash on this camera is much brighter, and it has an 8 point auto focus, vs the 3 point form the E510, which makes the focus so much faster.
I do have a couple minor issues with the camera, being used that can be expected. Olympus Evolts have 2 memory card slots, one for a proprietry xD card, the other a compact flash card. The body I received will not accept the xD card for some reason (Won't lock in), but the compact flash works fine. The other is cosmetic, a broken latch on the battery cover. I will contact Roberts Camera about these issues.
