DPReview have published their usual exhaustive review of the Olympus E-1 digital SLR camera.

“Olympus are clearly aiming the E-1 at the professional market, this in my opinion is a hard sell. From a marketing and positioning point of view I feel that the E-1 is stuck between a rock and a hard place. It doesn’t really offer the continuous shooting or AF speed required for professional sports photography. At the other end of the spectrum it doesn’t offer the resolution expected by professional studio photographers, ignoring the ‘megapixel race’ I feel that it falls short of delivering the full potential of a five megapixel sensor with a vertical resolution of 1920 photosites.”
