Comments:
The small size of the Olympus E-420 will make it a firm favourite for anyone with smaller hands or who likes to travel light

Review Verdict: At its heart, the E-410 has a Four-Thirds NMOS image sensor with an increased dynamic range with about an extra stop or so over the E-410. The colours are superb with skin tones, landscapes and blue skies rendering well in JPEG. Auto white balance has bee

Product Rating: 4.5 star(s) Olympus E-420 Review

Comments:
The Olympus E-420 is the most 'junior' member in Olympus line of digital SLRs. It was announced on the 5th March 2008, exactly one year after the launch of its predecessor, the E-410. Like the E-410 it comes with a 10 megapixel resolution, live-view and t

QuickTake:

Pros: Very compact and lightweight digital SLR, especially when combined with the 25mm pancake lens, Comfortable to hold despite the lack of a 'real' grip, Control panel display allows quick access to most important shooting parameters, Generally snappy perform

Review Verdict: While we enjoyed the exceptional compactness of the E-410's body, it always seemed a little hard to hold onto in our large hands: Its body was quite svelte, lacking the bulging handgrip of larger DSLR's we've used. Olympus appears to have remedied this in
