Here are all of our Olympus digital camera reviews, listed alphabetically by model.  | 16.1 megapixel, Compact System Camera, Non-Zoom The Olympus E-M1 builds upon the Micro Four Thirds legacy of the outstanding OM-D E-M5, adding not only a ton of features geared for pros and advanced enthusiasts, but also an on-chip, phase-detect autofocusing system that works remarkably well with Olympus Four Thirds DSLR lenses. The OM-D E-M1 offers a solid, weatherproof build, an outstanding electronic viewfinder, tons of physical controls and an advanced Wi-Fi system. Most importantly, the camera delivers excellent image quality for its class, even at high ISOs, as well as blazing performance that rivals top DSLRs. Released October 2013 | $1399

|  | 16.1 megapixel, Compact System Camera, 4.20x Zoom Resurrecting a popular design from its past proves fruitful for Olympus: Not only does the Olympus OM-D E-M5 look great, it takes great pictures, meeting or exceeding the quality of some pretty surprising competitors. Its interface is designed with photographers in mind, with ready control dials and a smart interface, all in a very small package. Released April 2012 |

|  | 16.1 megapixel, Compact System Camera, Non-Zoom The Olympus E-P5 is the company's best PEN-series Micro Four Thirds camera yet, taking the best of its predecessor, the E-P3, and many features from the acclaimed OM-D E-M5, and adding a few new wrinkles of its own. Overall, this flagship mirrorless model delivers blazing fast autofocus, burst shooting near 10fps and exceptional image quality -- even at higher ISOs -- that rival the performance of many top enthusiast DSLRs. Released May 2013 | $1399-1450

|
|  | 16.1 megapixel, Compact System Camera, 3.00x Zoom The Olympus E-PL5 packs some serious photographic power into a small package, with image quality that's simply astounding at this price point. Though the E-PL5's menu system is confusing and confounding, those with patience will find themselves pleased with the camera's advanced, immensely customizable controls. Add to all this very fast and responsive shooting performance, and the Olympus E-PL5 emerges as a strong contender. Released October 2012 |

|
|  | 16.1 megapixel, Compact System Camera, 3.00x Zoom Small, lightweight, powerful and affordable, the Olympus E-PM2 features the same 16-megapixel Live MOS sensor, processor and FAST AF system as its much more expensive Olympus E-M5 sibling. The E-PM2 is by no means perfect -- it's a little lacking in shooting action stills and HD video -- but it is a tremendous value, and a great choice for beginners looking to step up from a point-and-shoot. Released October 2012 | $449-500

|
|  | 16.0 megapixel, Mid-Sized, 24.00x Zoom Remarkably slim and light for a 24x long zoom digital camera, the Olympus SZ-30MR is a handsome digital camera with a good grip. We liked the easy Panorama mode and a few of the scene modes, but were mystified by a few other modes; most disappointing, though, was the overaggressive noise suppression that made in-focus faces blurry and foliage look more like clouds than leaves.

|  | 12.0 megapixel, Mid-Sized, 4.00x Zoom Boasting a new 12-megapixel 1/1.7-inch CMOS sensor and three-inch articulating LCD touchscreen, the Olympus XZ-2 enthusiast compact camera marks a serious upgrade over the XZ-1. But the not-quite-pocketable camera's core selling point remains the fast and bright f/1.8-2.5 i.ZUIKO 4x zoom lens that's ideal for low-light shooting, and can better blur backgrounds than most compact cameras. Overall, the XZ-2 captures great images, offers a horde of advanced photographic capabilities and is a joy to use, placing it on the short list of compact cameras suitable for truly demanding photographers. Released November 2012 | $573-650

|
|  | 12.0 megapixel, Compact, 4.00x Zoom The Olympus Tough TG-1 waterproof digital compact camera looks and feels like it should -- rugged and ready to take on the elements. It's also incredibly fast -- in both the bright f/2.0 lens and in autofocus, startup and shot-to-shot times, but image quality suffers a little more than we'd like, with frequent underexposure and muted colors. Released June 2012 | |
|
|  | 12.0 megapixel, Compact, 4.00x Zoom There's a good reason why the Olympus TG-2 is also called Tough; its rugged, element-defying skills are among the best for compact waterproof cameras. The TG-2 also proved a tough act to beat when it comes to controls and customizability, being the only waterproof compact we tested that had a physical Mode dial, providing serious shooters quick access for getting the perfect exposure. And that's suiting since the TG-2 tended to underexpose in Auto mode. But that doesn't mean it takes bad pictures; in fact it printed as well or better than its rivals including 16-megapixel models, and its fast f/2 max aperture at wide angle really helps in low-light situations. Overall, the Olympus TG-2 stands out as one of the best in its class. Released March 2013 | $376-380

|
|  | 14.0 megapixel, Compact, 5.00x Zoom A beautiful design with impressive features, but image quality is sub-par. We suspended our review as a result, and do not recommend the TG-810. Released April 2011 | |

|
|  | 10.0 megapixel, Compact, 4.00x Zoom Offering a lens that's both faster and sharper overall than its rivals, the Olympus XZ-1 comes out swinging and lands quite a few punches. High ISO performance isn't quite what we hoped for, but we'd be happy to stick with lower ISOs for access to the XZ-1's fine glass. Released January 2011 | $290
