Comments:
The 10-megapixel Olympus E-420 is a purposely compact DSLR that features Live View and Shadow Adjustment technology.
Review Verdict: It's rare to come across a camera that both pleases and irritates you in roughly the same proportions, and here I have found two. There is a lot to like about each; the E-420 for providing masses of features and a good standard of images in such a cheap a

Comments:

Review Verdict: Enthusiasts probably won't want to use this as their main DSLR, but if you're looking to upgrade from a compact or want a backup camera with character, the Olympus delivers.

Hailed as the world's smallest and lightest DSLR, the Olympus E-420 replaces the E-410 in the Olympus Four-Thirds system line-up.
Review Verdict: There's very little to criticise in the overall specification and performance of the E-420. I like it's size - it's ideal for travelling and is reminiscent of my old OM4 in some aspects of its handling. Images are generally good too, with excellent shar

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
Cons: LCD could be a little brighter for outdoor shooting with live view and is prone to smearing, LCD turns monochrome and noisy in low light, Auto white balance and presets not brilliant (but there is a white balance fine tune option), Menu structure a little

We mentioned at the outset that the Four-Thirds lens mount/sensor standard has allowed Olympus to produce unusually compact DLSRs. Last year's E-410 was the smallest DSLR we'd encountered when it was first introduced; now Olympus is claiming that the E-42
