Olympus Evolt E-410 Review: Digital SLR Camera (Part 3)

Yesterday we looked at the lens, screen and viewfinder on the Olympus Evolt E-410 Digital SLR Camera.

Using the camera
First off, we have to say that we loved the size of the camera. Although it’s by no means pocketable, the skinny shape meant that we were more inclined to grab the E-410 instead of a digital compact, and the minimal weight meant that it wasn’t a burden to shunt about all day.

Olympus Evolt E-410 Review: Digital SLR Camera (Part 2)

Yesterday we took the Olympus Evolt E-410 Digital SLR Camera in hand and looked at the top plate and lens.

Viewfinder
The prism style viewfinder comes with a comfortable removable rubber eye cup (and dioptre adjustment) but offers a rather tunnel-like view, with the optics considerably smaller than, say, a Nikon D80. Although we moaned about the titchy viewfinder at first, in reality we soon got used to it and it was bright enough to avoid any real usability issues.

1 Million TVs To Sell Over Christmas: Digital UK

Digital UK estimates that over one million TV sets will be sold in the UK this Christmas.

Electronic retailers and TV manufacturers will be licking their lips at the prospect.

Xmas is traditionally a time when lots of people buy a new TV – whether it’s because they want to make sure that they get at least one decent chrissy present, or that they have nothing to say to the people who will be coming around, and therefore need a new TV isn’t clear.

Palm Treo 500V Launches In London

Palm Treo 500V Launches In LondonWe were here in Soho to attend the London launch of the new Treo 500V phone, a 3G/UMTS handset available exclusively to Vodafone customers from 1st October (the phone will become available without contract in Jan next year).

As you may have noticed, our earlier prediction that Palm was about to launch a European version of the 755p turned out to be nothing but wishful thinking, so we’ll have to settle for the Windows version for now.
