Olympus µ Digital 800

Before Sony, Canon brought and Nikon a digital camera with 8-megapixel sensor on the market. While these manufacturers the high-end beeldsensor built in in an apparatus, that as for appearance and administration of the Last Sacraments much away has of a reflex camera, chose Olympus for it the sensor to integrate in the -family.

The Digital 800 is, as all cameras from the Digital-series, equal to a shower and spurting water. You can him thus also at the beach and by badly again use. The Digital 800 is however not complete waterproof.

At the back find we a 2,5-inch HyperCrystal LCD-fence that according to Olympus a contrast offers that three times larger am then on an usual LCD-screen.,. Therefore are differences clearer visible in color and clarity. In our test, we can use the Digital 800 even on a radiant summer day; the screen remains perfectly legible.

If you recordings make by little light, then sees to the Bright Capture-feature for it that the sensitivities raised becomes till at most the equivalent of ISO 1,600. Besides becomes the resolution automatically lowered to decrease the chance on annoying noise. Nevertheless remains with such high ISO-landlords only noise visibly, so that we advise that high sensitivities where possible to avoid.

You can work with the Digital 800 volautomatisch, or with a selection of sluitertijd and diafragma. Skilfully that is warns the camera you as a combination of sluitertijd and diafragma till an under or about-exposed recording leads. Furthermore there are 19 scne-presets for under other portrait, landscape, sunset and snow or beach fun.

The Digital 800 is foresee of a 3x optical edge lens with a comparable reach of a 38-114 mm lens on a traditional small image camera. In the Super Macro-position, you can photograph objects till a distance of three millimeters. In large corner position, we notice light transformation through which horizontal lines walk at the top and at the bottom in image slightly crooked.

In our tests measure we an effective resolution of 2,450 (horizontally) on 1,700 (vertical) line pair, what corresponds to the most 8-megapixel cameras. De automatic witbalans works excellently in daylight, but has what problems with art light; here can you better the presets (tungsten- or tl-lightly) use.,.
