Olympus doesn’t put out very many cameras that I’ve come across–not near so many as Kodak and Nikon and the like, anyway–but when they do, they’ve usually done a pretty nice job.  And today’s review target, the Olympus Stylus 7030, will prove to be exactly that: a pretty nice job.

The Olympus Stylus 7030 is a fourteen megapixel camera that offers a 7x optical zoom with an augmenting 5x digital zoom, a 2.7 inch LCD monitor, TruePic III image processor, face detection technology, a variety of scene and white balance modes, two different kinds of autofocus, a burst shooting mode, autoflash, AVI movie recording capability, a whopping eight hundred and twenty nine megs of onboard memory with support for the Secure Digital line of memory cards, and a USB port.

I liked how this one was set up, and despite the fact that it is a smallish camera, I didn’t have too much trouble operating it.  There are plenty of unique bells and whistles here, the zoom is almost unparalled for a compact digital camera, and it’s got more memory than I can remember seeing in one place before.

And here’s the best part–you get all this camera, all this spectacularly awesome camera, for the low price of a hundred and eighty bucks.

Add all of this up and one thing becomes crystal clear: the Olympus Stylus 7030 is a terrific camera that represents an unbelievable value.  If you’re at all interested in a new camera, this is definitely one to see.
