Model Design / Appearance (7.75)
Handling Ability (7.25)



Olympus buttons and dials are typically large and tough, and the ones on the EVOLT E-330 don't disappoint. The mode and control dial are both large and easy to use with the user's right hand in shooting position. It would be better, however, if the EVOLT E-330 had two control dials: on high-end DSLRs, the front dial handles aperture and the back handles shutter speed, but the E-330 requires the user to press a button to switch its single dial between functions. The EVOLT E-330's shutter release is a large chrome button with a very good feel.Menu (5.5)

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX70 First Impressions Review
Sony’s WX70 reminds us of last year’s WX9, except for the huge new touchscreen on back. Normally that slows down shooting, but this model’s screen is actually pretty responsive. Could this be the first all-touch camera that doesn’t leave us frustrated? Read More...
