Opinion: This without a doubt is the best Olympus camera to date.

Packed with features, build quality is great, pure joy to use (even those art filters are very neat, especially popart, b&w).

The viewinder is big with 98% coverage, AF is much faster than in Exx cameras. LCD is sharper, more improved and is crystal clear. Image quality shines - especially when combined with great Zuiko optics. Sure, there's a bit more noise, but anyone who used any camera to make money knows that this is not a real issue in real life. What's more important is the sharpness, detail, contrast and colour. And E30 + Zuikos deliver it.

I never had so much fun playing with any camera before! And I had lots of them, from Praktica, Canon FT, Nikon F401, F80, D100, FM3a, Olympus E510.
