Photoreview reviewed the Olympus SP-550UZ and gave out”Olympus has clearly responded to market demands in the development of the SP550 UZ. There’s a strong demand – particularly among travellers – for a compact, all-in-one camera that can cover all situations. And, despite the compromises that have had to be made, the SP550 UZ is a capable camera that is well worth considering – as long as you don’t plan to print your shots larger than A4 size….”

Olympus E-410 Review By CNET
the E-410 is capable of producing very good photos; in that respect, it differs little from competitors like the Nikon D40x and Canon EOS Rebel XTi. It takes a little more effort to get there, however–a bit of an absurdity given Olympus’ marketing it as a nonthreatening step up for the point-and-shoot photographer
CNET Reviewed the Olympus E-410 and gave out”The good: Very compact for a dSLR; speedy; Live View mode (LCD preview) operation.The bad: Subpar autofocus, exposure, and automatic white-balance performance; some poor choices for default settings.The bottom line: Olympus’ compact dSLR for newbies, the Evolt E-410, is a decent choice if you’re looking to save space in your bag, but issues with its automatic exposure and white balance make it an unsatisfactory option as a first dSLR. “

Olympus FE-230 Review By DigitalCameraReview
The FE-230 is one of four new FE digital cameras from Olympus (the others are the FE-210, FE-240, FE-250). For approximately $50 less, you can get a chunkier, AA powered, slightly slower FE-210 that has more LCD resolution. For approximately $50 more, you can get the FE-240, which adds on a 5x optical zoom.
DigitalCameraReview reviewed the Olympus FE-230 and gave out”I was pretty impressed by the very slim Olympus FE-230, given the price point (sub-$200) and its performance. While it may not meet the needs of every photographer, it’s a good fit for someone new to digital photography (with plenty of built-in help features) who wants a slim, pocketable camera. The 7 megapixel resolution, 3x optical zoom, 2.5 inch screen and 30fps movie mode provide a good set of specs for beginning photographers.”

Olympus Evolt E510 Review By Imaging-resource
As with the E-410 model it is announced alongside, the Olympus EVOLT E-510 offers rather more “traditional” styling than some of the past EVOLT line, but the two don’t share identical bodies. Instead, the E-510 is a few millimeters wider and offers a significantly deeper handgrip that adds to the camera’s thickness, but should offer a comfortable hand-hold.
Imaging-resource Reviewed the Olympus Evolt E510 and gave out”As you’d expect, the E-510 retains Olympus’ unique Supersonic Wave Filter, which couples a high-frequency vibration of the imager to remove dust from its surface, plus a range of seals to stop movement of dust through the camera body.
