Comments:

Review Verdict: Olympus' compact dSLR for newbies, the Evolt E-410, is a decent choice if you're looking to save space in your bag, but issues with its automatic exposure and white balance make it an unsatisfactory option as a first dSLR.

Olympus' Four Thirds imaging system comes of age in a classy compact SLR that makes the rest look ordinary

Review Verdict: The standard E-410 lens kit is a nice package, but look out for the twin lens kit which includes an excellent 40-150mm that's barely bigger than the standard zoom and gives you serious telephoto capability

Comments:
This is our final review of the Olympus EVOLT E-410. The camera described is a full production model, and product photos have been re-shot if necessary. All sample photos are from the production-level cameras. Thank you very much for your patience.

Review Verdict: If you get either of the lens kits then you'll be one of the first to use the new 14-42 and 50-140 mm lenses. These aren't quite as fancy as some of Olympus' other lenses (they're not weather sealed) but they're more than adequate for most people. You can

Review Verdict: The Olympus E-410's portability is perhaps its biggest boon, and certainly one of its greatest sales assets - although in truth there is not a great deal of difference in terms of dimensions with the likes of Nikon's 10MP D40x. It's also, for me, less rel
