'So Olympus is trying again to lure this lucrative audience to its Micro Four Thirds camp, this time with the more consumer-friendly designed and priced E-PL1.
'
'And in the eyes of many consumers the E-PL1 will best its more expensive bigger brother due to the fact that, for the first time, Olympus has included a built-in, pop-up flash, activated by a thumb switch situated at the top left-hand edge of the camera back. '
'the E-PL1 feels sturdy and easy to tote around from bag to beach and back again.'
'Camera has a "retro" look and design, which is appealing.'
'Ultimately, the Nikon D90 gets high marks because it's a fast camera that delivers a great shooting experience and first-rate photos for the money.'
'With its very good feature set, excellent image quality, and reasonable price, the D90 is a camera you should absolutely consider if you're shopping for a mid-range SLR. '
'Solid body'
'The 12.3-megapixel D90 is a Mensa-worthy fistful of photo fury that could pave your way to MoMA's permanent collection.
'
'There are nice white balance controls, plus you can reduce noise, chromatic aberrations, and lens distortion as well.'
'All in all it's a very impressive specification for the money'
'It's bigger, tougher and more feature rich than any Pentax digital SLR before it and it certainly carries a wide enough range of features to worry the 'big name' brands.'
