DPreview took the Olympus E-410 for a test drive and gives it a thumbs up. The Olympus E-410 impressed them with its overall performance, its price tag, its effective sensor-shift image stabilization and its lightweight body. However the camera comes equipped with a viewfinder, which they found “Small”, and images at ISO 400 and higher were found to be noisy.
“It's great to see Olympus finally introducing models that deliver on the Four-Thirds promise of compact, affordable, high quality digital SLRs, and the E-510 (along with its ultra compact sibling the E-410) show that the system has far more potential than many observers give it credit for, particularly in this 'entry-level to mid-range enthusiast' sector of the market.”
