Conclusion
Timing can be very important. If the E-400 had been introduced two years ago, in the place of the E-300, it would have been very impressive to see all its features in such a small package. It would have made the Four Thirds format look like the next big thing. Small, high-resolution, not ugly, with dust control – it appears much more exciting than the E-300.
 
But it’s too late. The only distinction it has left is the Four Thirds format, and that shouldn't sway first-time DSLR buyers.
 
Without knowing about its image quality, it's not sensible to say whether this is a camera to buy or not. But it's sensible to say there's nothing about it that separates it from the pack.
