Olympus E-1 Digital
Wednesday March 03, 2004
Olympus
Price at time of review.
A completely new digital SLR system has arrived in the shape of the Olympus E-1 and is perhaps the most eagerly awaited professional camera this year.
First-class image quality, but despite a pro-spec build the E-1 disappoints with a slightly underachieving AF system.

The A700 has excellent image quality, but is let down by design quirks and the high price.
Forget budget DSLR, this is for serious photography. Extravagant in almost every way, the D700 is superbly responsive and produces stunning images
For a DSLR that does everything an amateur is ever likely to want, with a terrifyingly cheap price tag, look no further.
A significant overhaul and a great camera. At this price it’s the best all-round package on the market
