'Olympus has made a big and daring step introducing the Four Thirds system.'
'compact yet very capable system for general travel photography'
'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.'
'a clever, ground-up brand new digital SLR from Olympus.'
'It's hard to tell which is softer in the corners, the wide or tele shots, but the telephoto end is strongly influenced by the chromatic aberration in the scene.'
'At ISO 1600, noise was very noticeable despite noise suppression'
'The problem is that they only save 3 images at a burst, which compares poorly with competing cameras, and limits the usefulness of a burst mode in the first place – a 3-frame sequence won't tell the story of a sports play, or a bouquet toss, et cetera.'
'With a high resolution 10.2 Megapixel sensor, built-in image stabilization and dust reduction systems, and super-fast performance, the A100 gives the competition a run for their money.'
'In our hands, the Alpha 100 feels comfortable'
'It was really rather a good camera that simply wasn't out there long enough to make a proper impression on the market.'
'the camera should do fine with typical city night scenes.'
