Olympus PT-E02 Review - Some Gadgets Need Testing on the Maldives

Jan 19 2007, 5:00am CST | by Luigi Lugmayr

The Camera experts at LetsGoDigital found the perfect excuse for a nice vacation on the Madives. They needed to test the Olympus PT-E02 Underwater housing with the Olympus E-330 DSLR. Yeah right. You could also just dunk it in a bathtub to see if it is waterproof.

Quote from the review:
"The buttons on the Olympus PTE02 underwater case work well. Each button on the camera can also be operated on the underwater case. To operate the menu, you use buttons of various lengths and this is extremely handy under water. It enables you to find the right button for changing settings quickly by touch. To change shutter speed, you use a big dial that operates the command dial on the camera.
It is a pity that if you are photographing in the manual setting that the aperture must also be adjusted and that two buttons have to be operated at once. "
