Next time your “friend” hands you a pack of gum, beware. It could be Swann’s MovieStick in disguise, recording your every move.

Olympus E-30 dSLR Steps Into The Midrange Market
Olympus got both the high end and low end markets covered, but what it doesn’t have covered is the midrange market where the likes of Nikon D90, Canon EOS 40D and even Canon EOS 50D rule. To combat this, and to close the $900 spread between the Olympus E-520 and the E-3, Olympus brings you the E-30. It is a 12.3-megapixel midrange dSLR that delivers Art Filters, a set of six effects–Pop Art, Soft Focus, Pale and Light, Grainy Film, Light Tone and Pin Hole–which are applicable during shooting. Why these features you may ask? Because that’s what midrange is all about, identity crisis. Good job nonetheless, Olympus.
