Olympus E-10

Opinion: Exellent camera, especially for its time. Very good lens, no shutter lag. Annoyances when used now: startup time = 4 s. Write times to card very slow which can be limiting with a buffer of 5 frames.

The E10 is quite a lot quicker than the newer E20 because the E20 has the sam processor with more pixels to handle: longer times needed for processing the larger amounts of data.

Opinion: Great camera, even though a little old now. I mostly miss that I can't use other lenses and the resolution isn't really big even though it's enough. Also miss that there are only few menu options and that the camera's got a really slow writing speed. But after some time, everyone will probably find out that he wants to upgrade to a newer camera (Canon EOS 60D in my case...).

Opinion: A wonderfully well constructed camera, love the feel and look. Owned for 5 years now, 10.000 pics plus..Stellar picture quality, did a few billboards up to 20 by 9 FEET. low pixel count.. who cares, great clear sharp bright lens makes it all happen.
Low light quality is very nice, but.. difficult to focus when dark. Never had exposure problems. This camera is absolutely quiet, It goes with me to noise sensitive shoots (music).
For its money it simply cannot be beat.
Slow focus, low burst talents, and slow read write are issues, but you know.. its cheap and indestructible with older technology, but with really wondefull rendering.
Of yah, its seen a lot of salt water, doused once or twice.. still works great..

Opinion: Another 2006 perspective of this old "war horse" dSLR, Oly's E-10. For the bargain basement price a mint condition E-10 and Oly's lenses and other E-10 specific accessories are available for it, the E-10 is absolutely unequaled for studio and still photos!

I find the E-10 to be superb for studio/product photos where its slower read/write times aren't critical. By the time I've finished re-arranging the products I'm photographing, my E-10 is always ready for another round of 4 photos.

It's perfect for its price for very high quality studio/product and landscape photos. I find its gorgeous fixed aspheric zoom lens takes beautiful still photos, coupled with the fact that the E-10 is an incredibly well-built, very durable camera, even if a bit on the heavy side.

Opinion: Reviewed from a 2006 perspective ... Today this camera can be purchased for nothing, i got a demo model with all accersories for $200 USD. Today this camera is an excellent buy. The build quality is second to non, maybe even better then my 20D. This camera has meny fetures that make it a joy to use, through the lens viewing, no mirror so its very quiet, excellent fast lens, great focus speend and accuracy, excellent manual controls. The image quality is great for 8x10 or maybe even larger. If you want a great cheep travel camera, or something just to kick around for fun ... get one.

Opinion: This was the top camera of the Olympus at the time it appeared, and you can really feel it. It's a very responsive camera, much better than most of today's sub-1000$ dSLRs.
It's very robust (although a bit heavy), it has excellent optics, very good image quality, the TTL is much better than any LCD, it's very silent (no mirror mechanism). And it has live preview, an unique feature even in today's dSLRs. The image quality is impeccable, it has a very natural color reproduction
And it can be bought these days for pennies on ebay, so don't hesitate, if you want one!
