E-30 Review Site

Mr. Wrotniak is starting to review the new Olympus E-30, here.

Although supposedly a high-end camera, nonetheless it comes with . . . face detection, something you'd normally find in entry-level point and shoot cameras!

Best quote so far from his review:

Face detection: the camera tries to detect human faces in the scene, adjusting the exposure and (probably) autofocus to have them rendered best. This works based on the continuously updated Live View information and therefore is available only in the Live View mode. In other words, you are using your SLR as a point-and-shoot camera.
This was introduced already in the E-420 and E-520, and most other manufacturers believe it will appeal to first-time SLR buyers who are considered, by the said manufacturers, to be idiots.
