Product Rating: 4 star(s) Olympus E-420 review

Comments:
Not only is it one of the most lightweight and compact models in the world, the Olympus E-420 is an inexpensive DSLR that's a mighty £170 less than its Olympus E-410 predecessor.

Review Verdict: Compact, easy to use and inexpensive, the Olympus E-420 is a good DSLR option for anyone nervous about trading up from a pocket camera, while E-410 owners can rest easy that any upgrading is relatively minor.

Product Rating: 3.5 star(s) Olympus E-420

Comments:
Let's get one thing out of the way: Even though it's called the 420, Olympus' latest camera has absolutely nothing to do with illicit drug use. We tried to find a secret compartment for storing your stash: No dice.

QuickTake:

Pros: Light weight and small size make it far more portable than most DSLRs. Live view lets you compose on-screen instead of peering through the viewfinder. Speedy autofocus. No discernible shutter lag. Paging all photo geeks: RAW format support.
Cons: Fewer buttons means it takes more menu-surfing to adjust basic settings like ISO and white balance. Face-detection feature can be slow. Four Thirds lens compatibility is largely moot, as no manufacturers beside Olympus and pricey Sigma support the standar

Product Rating: 4.15 star(s) Olympus E-420

Comments:
Not the pinnacle of image quality, but superbly compact with plenty of neat features

Review Verdict: There's a downside to a smaller sensor, though. Smaller, denser pixels mean increased image noise. This does make itself felt at sensitivities above ISO 400 – the results from the Canons in particular are far cleaner – but below that it's less...

Little DSLR that could

Comments:
The Olympus E-420 is one of the smallest DSLR cameras in the market but it's pretty big on features.

Review Verdict: While the E-420 has its strengths and weaknesses, the fact that the camera is one of the cheapest, smallest and lightest entry-level DSLR makes the E-420 a great option for photographers looking to purchase their first DSLR.

Comments:
Not too much is known so far about the E-420, but we know this; the bosy weighs in at 380 grams and it's priced below the $500 mark in the US. This lightweight 10-megapixel DSLR offers heavyweight technologies, including a bigger, more viewable 2.7-inch L
