Top 3 Olympus DSLR

In recent weeks we have been discussing the best digital SLR cameras from major brands like Canon , Nikon ,  Pentax , Sony , and the culmination of this cycle's turn now to Olympus, a versatile brand which specializes not only were the cameras photo but specialized audio systems and advanced medical equipment. However, the saying "He who covers a lot of little press" does not seem to apply in the case of Olympus, as it has been able to produce very good cameras, covering a wide range of users (beginners, advanced, professional ...).





What's more, Olympus has pioneered several advances in introducing digital SLR photography, were the first adpotar the four-thirds (4 / 3), the first sensor dust-resistant design, and the first to implement the system LCD screen with LiveView.

If you are interested in buying an Olympus camera and then I leave you the following options for me would be the best 3 Olympus SLR cameras.


Best Olympus SLR cameras

Olympus E-450: It has going for its ease of use and small size and weight make it manageable even a camera in the hands of a child. It has 10 megapixels, sensor protection system from dust, and a very attractive price that hard to find in competing cameras (around 300-odd euros camera and lens included).


Olympus E-PL1: This is a chamber of type four thirds (4 / 3), the small cameras that combine the convenience and ease of a compact camera with the professionalism and precision lens / lens reflex cameras.
In this case, the Olympus E-PL1 is equipped with 12 megapixel image stabilizer with 3 levels and video recording in HD mode (720p). Your price moves below 500 euros. Surely a more than attractive but everything a photographer and amateur photographer who does not suffer the weight of a huge SLR camera.




Olympus E-620: Following the same line of Olympus, this is a small sized camera, light and weight, and meets the needs of any amateur photographer and intermediate: 12 megapixel sensor, built-in image stabilizer, live view, drop-down LCD screen, etc..
In burst shooting mode the camera without any difficulty reaching the 4fps (frames per second), its autofocus is almost faster thanks to its 7 focus points, and extra features such as scene modes and face detection to make your life easier more than one.



As you can see the options available in terms of Olympus SLR cameras are quite limited, the good thing is that all cameras are focused on the novice user, both in price, as performance and ease of use.

I could occasionally use some of these cameras, but I never had any Olympus personally. Do you have any Olympus SLR or you are thinking of buying? Tell us below in comments please your impressions.

Canon 550D: Powerful and Affordable SLR

This model replaces the previous Canon 500D, keeping the best of it and adding some more advanced features.


Features and specifications of Canon 550D

The Canon 550D, although mid-range, has nearly 18 megapixel resolution (much more than other competing cameras considered professionals). It also has an ISO range that reaches 6,400, forcing can be increased up to 12,800.

For video enthusiasts the Canon 550D is a delight: record video in different resolutions can get Full HD (1080p) at 30 frames per second. If we lower the resolution to normal HD camera allows us to get more frames per second (fps) reaching 60fps, highly recommended for slow Slow-Motion/Cámara scenes. It also allows us to connect an external microphone.

The camera in burst mode, you can disbar up to 3.7 frames per second, making 34 photos continue unabated JPG or RAW mode 6 photos continued.

One of the few cameras in its range offering is the HDMI connection, something the Canon 550D boasts.

Finally, for many, Canon 7D Canon 550D is a small scale and low price.


The best thing about this camera:

Automatic sensor cleaning.
Many megapixels.
Full HD video at 30 fps.
Compatibility with more than 160 objtivos today.
The worst thing about this camera:

Continuous shooting. A mere 3.7 fps.
Only 9 AF points
Absence of continuous focus while recording video.
Competing with the Canon EOS 550D

This model features and specifications competes directly with the Nikon D3100 and D5100, although in certain aspects even surpassing the famous D90.

At this point difficult to find digital SLR cameras with the same features and have a similar price. The Canon 550D costs 702 euros body only, but a difference of less than 20 euros (721 euros) get the body + lens stabilizer 18-55mm.

Summary:
This is the few cameras that come to mind when you think about digital SLR cameras that offer good price / performance ratio and also do not become obsolete soon. Just as we urge you to all my readers fans of Nikon's D3100, those who want to take your first steps with the Canon really can not think of a better option than the 550D.
