Camera Labs Reviews Olympus E-420
The Olympus E-420 DSLR was reviewed by the folks over at Camera Labs and lets see what the verdict is. The 10 Megapixel DSLR when compared to its predecessor has some minor tweaks like a bigger screen and a bigger grip. Another nifty addition is the ew contrast-based autofocus option in Live View, which makes focusing easier. The small size of the DSLR makes it ideal for point and shoot users as well those who take their photography seriously. The anti-dust system is quite effective and the interface quite intuitive.
Verdict:
"So with the E-420 and pancake lens, Olympus has created a DSLR kit which will appeal to a broad group of buyers: those upgrading from a point and shoot, those who leave a DSLR at home because it’s too big or heavy, and those who want a smaller, lighter backup body to a higher-end model."
