  Cons: Slow start-up, lack of finger hold, sluggish write speed, no body-only option
  
  Verdict: The Olympus E-400 kit is a complete solution in a box for the photographer entering the world of dSLR photography. The two lenses cover a wide range and the 10-megapixel sensor records enough detail to satisfy the keenest of pixel counters. Add a memory c
