  • Abstract:  The Olympus E-420 is well worth the amateur photographer’s consideration. If there is only one feature that should drive the purchase of your next camera (or even your first camera, for that matter), it would have to be ability to interchange lenses, ...

  • Compact, easy to use and inexpensive, the Olympus E-420 is a good DSLR option for anyone nervous about trading up from a pocket camera, while E-410 owners can rest easy that any upgrading is relatively minor. ...

  Published: 2008-10-10, review by: steves-digicams.com

  • Abstract:  The Olympus E-420 is the successor to the very popular E-410 from last year. Olympus designed this portable model for those who are ready to step up to the power and performance of a digital SLR, yet still expect the ease of use and ability to compose ...

  • Abstract:  Founded in 1919, Olympus has been one of the Big 5 camera manufacturers in the US since the late 50s introduction of its very popular half frame film camera the Olympus Pen. Some of its other well known film cameras were the Olympus RC (one of my fa...

  • Abstract:  Hybrid AF: When this mode is selected, the camera first employs contrast-detection AF to set approximate focus so the image looks quite sharp on the LCD monitor. There’s no interruption of the live preview display. Press the shutter button to t...

  • Sharp, detailed close-up pictures. Pleasant colors in average light. Live-view mode allows odd-angle shots. Speedy, responsive action. Advanced manual controls.
  • Photos get noisy at 800 ISO and higher. Viewfinder feels small. LCD stays lit even when sighting camera.
  • The Evolt E-420 includes the features and quality we expect from an entry-level DSLR. While its quirks disappoint, it’s a great value for beginners...

  • Little effort to carry, dust reduction, excellent value for money, consistent AWB
  • Handling, position of right eyelet, highlight control, slow AF system with standard lenses
  • 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 c...

  Published: 2008-07-02, Author: Jamie , review by: trustedreviews.com

  • Abstract:  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. With 10 million effective pixels, from a total of 11.8 million, it seems like Olympus may have hit a bottleneck with the four...

  • Improved grip over the earlier E-410 and £170 cheaper on launch, Faster operation, while larger LCD screen aids visibility, More consistent white balance performance from shot to shot, Realistic colours, with a vivid option to increase saturation still...
  • Functional improvements over the earlier E-410 are relatively minor ones, Two of the E-410’s scene modes have sunk without a trace
  • An excellent choice if you want a more professional camera thats still compact and easy to use.
