Olympus Woodcam
There is something that just makes me laugh, watching technology be shoved inside a wooden frame. I have seen people put their computers in wood, and putting wood on or in cars used to be very popular as well, a trend that seems to be coming back lately, but a digital camera in wood? Well, that’s interesting to see.
I am used to the metal finish of my digital camera, but there is something more warm, more earthy about the Olympus Woodcam.
The wood that Olympus used is Japanese cypress, other than that no details are known about the camera. Other than the occasional splinter, I’d love to have one of these as more of a conversational piece than a daily used digital camera, no matter the specifications. Check out the full Olympus line at Digital Camera HQ, and no, they don’t list the woodcam yet.
Olympus E330 Review from LetsGoDigital
Finding a good digital SLR can be rather difficult. LetsGoDigital has a review up on the E330 from Olympus which is a good candidate to put on your short list.
The Olympus E300 digital SLR camera, which was introduced in 2004, strongly deviated from the traditional SLR camera design. When Olympus introduced the Olympus E500 one year later, people generally assumed Olympus had taken the path of least resistance by designing a “regular” SLR camera. However, nothing could be further from the truth; the Olympus E330 is the successor of the E300 and looks every bit as sassy, if not more. It wasn’t until later that we found out the Olympus E-300 was meant to feature the specifications of the E330, had it not been for the fact that the technology was not yet ready. Now, however, the Olympus E330 shows us exactly what the engineers at Olympus have in store; the model boasts several cheeky features.
Getting a rating of 79%, the Olympus E330 is a DSLR to take a strong look at. Its weakest point is its considerable price, which is not as bad as some SLR’s on the market. The E330 is recommended by LetsGoDigital
Olympus Stylus 720 SW Review
Imaging Resource has a review up on the Olympus Stylus 720 SW. The SW stands for shockproof and waterproof, so if you are looking for a camera that can take a bit of a beating this might be it.
Some of the normal features worth noting is that the Stylus 720 SW is a 7.1 megapixel digital camera with a 3x optical zoom, and a 2.5 inch LCD on the back of it.
Cameras don’t get cooler than this. Olympus did it up right in the design department, building a camera that both looks and feels solid. The 720 SW is Olympus’s most attractive point and shoot to date. It’s shiny metal body with brushed stainless accents make it look and feel like it was machined from a solid block of steel. It’s light, yet steel-stiff.
The lens is not central on the front, nor does it protrude. It’s a folded optic design, meaning that the zoom mechanism is stacked inside with the sensor at the bottom looking up just like a periscope on a submarine. That means no fragile external moving parts that can break, an essential design element to a camera that stays rugged even in shooting mode. This opening is protected by a cropped circular bezel and a hefty metal door that swings out of and into place when the camera is powered on and off.
While the camera did not have the best image quality, it still managed to be nominated as a Dave’s pick, though partially because it is the only camera in its class to be shock and water resistant.
Olympus SP-320 Review
DigitalCameraReview recently reviewed the Olympus SP-320 a reasonably sized digital camera with some powerful features.
The Olympus SP-320 is a member of Olympus’ SP line of cameras that have “Power and Versatility”. With features like RAW image capture and several manual modes, the camera may appeal to someone with a tight budget who wants the advanced features that the camera has. The SP-320 features a 7.1 megapixel sensor, 2.5 inch LCD, and 3x optical zoom. Powered by 2 AA batteries, the SP-320 is a midsized compact camera that is comfortable to hold and takes good pictures.
In the end they liked the advanced features for the price, as well as the image quality, customization, and the comfort when holding the camera. They were worried about the LCD blackout and cycle times get too long when batteries still have plenty of life left, and that it uses xD Picture Cards media.
Olympus MJU 700 Review
Cameras.co.uk has a review up on the Olympus MJU 700, a weatherproof compact digital camera.
The Olympus MJU 700 is a seven megapixel digital camera with a three times optical zoom lens. One way that it differs from the vast majority of digital cameras is that the MJU 700 is weatherproof. This means you should have no problem taking the camera out in the rain to take pictures.
In terms of design I would describe the camera as stylish. With a built in guide to using the camera it also scores well for ease of use. Therefore I would suggest this camera is likely to appeal to anyone who is looking for a camera they can use in more or less all weathers, is easy to use and looks good too. It is also small and slim enough to slip into a pocket.
In the end the reviewer was left a little disappointed by the camera, as it has so much going for it in terms of design, and the weatherproofing, but the image quality just is not up to par, and as such, the reviewer was unable to recommend the camera.
Olympus SP-310 Review
Imaging Resource performs one of its signature quick reviews on the Olympus SP-310, and while they thought they would be completely unimpressed, the camera surprised them.
When you first see the product shots of the Olympus SP-310, it’s not impressive. Its big grip on the right really looks silly, especially in the front shot. Holding and using the camera, however, gives a very different impression.
The big grip gives you a far better hold on the camera than other small cameras in this class, yet the camera still travels well.
One other factor immediately changed our opinion of the Olympus SP-310 though: the printed image quality. We’d reviewed the Olympus SP-350 a bit before the SP-310, and were quite a bit more impressed with it than we expected to be when we first set eyes on it. The Olympus SP-310 produced a similar experience, but we really missed the hot shoe feature from the 350.
In the end they gave the camera a Dave’s pick rating, due to how the camera performed in image quality, which really is the key thing for digital cameras these days.
Olympus FE-110 Review
Imaging Resource put up one of their quick reviews, that extends on forever down the page on the Olympus FE-110.
The Olympus FE-110 is small and compact, though a little chunky; still, it’s great for travel. Its pocket-friendly size is well-suited for small coat pockets and purses (not shirt or pants pockets), though it has a substantial enough handgrip for most hands to grasp well. Featuring a 5.0-megapixel CCD, the FE-110 captures high resolution images with good detail, suitable for printing to 11×17 or 8×10. There’s also a low resolution setting perfect for emails.
Built into the Olympus FE-110 is a 2.8x, 6.2-17.4mm zoom lens (equivalent to a 38-106mm lens on a 35mm camera). Maximum aperture ranges from f/3.0 to f/5.0, depending on the zoom setting. Focus ranges from 1.6 feet (50 centimeters) to infinity in normal mode. A Macro setting focuses as close as 0.7 feet (20 centimeters).
In the end it does not make it as a Dave’s pick, but he does say that it is a good introductory camera for those transitioning into the digital world only expecting to point and shoot.
