Phil Askey gets hands-on with the PAL version of Olympus' E-10 successor...
Our friends at the Digital Photography Review website have now posted their full review of the Olympus Camedia E-20P digital camera, the European equivalent of the US E-20N model. (The only real difference between the two being a choice of NTSC or PAL video output connectivity) Phil concludes: "Overall the E-20 is a camera of hot and cold. From an image quality point of view it's very balanced, with good resolution and a neutral approach to tonal and colour balance (which would better suit a professional or semiprofessional photographer). There's the superbly built and designed body, studio flash capability (which works well) a mechanically linked zoom control and a vast array of manual controls.
However, on the other side there are just too many things which I found frustrating about the E-10 which simply haven't been addressed. Many of them I consider to be fairly straightforward fixes or changes which, for a camera aimed at professional photographers, are essential." For more of Phil's opinion, be sure to read the review in its entirity.
