      Olympus E-420

      Review summary: The Olympus E-420 makes an excellent choice for an entry level DSLR, and it's available at a price that's just a little higher than most advanced SLR-like compact point-and-shoots. When coupled with the excellent kit lens, it produces surprisingly ...

      Pros: 10 megapixel resolution, 2.7 inch HyperCrystal II 230,000 dot LCD, Built-in dust reduction, Live View and Face Detect autofocus

      Verdict: The Olympus E-420 Digital SLR is the world's smallest DSLR camera...

      Olympus E-420 Review

      By Jeff Keller

      Review summary: The Olympus E-420 is a compact digital SLR that offers a host of nice features, despite being priced at just $599. This camera is the follow-up to the venerable EVOLT E-410, offering these new features:

      Pros: Very good photo quality ; Good value -- starts at $500, body only ; World's smallest D-SLR ; excellent build quality ; Dust reduction system ; Live view with contrast detect AF and face detection (with some lenses) on a 2.7" LCD display ; Full manual ...

      Cons: Photos are slightly soft ; noise reduction a bit heavy at ISO 1600 (shoot RAW to avoid) ; Slow contrast detect AF, unimpressive face detection in live view mode ; both features only available with a select few lenses ; Low light focusing could be ...

      Verdict: There are two lenses that you can get along with the E-420. The first is the F3.5-5.6, 14 - 42 mm lens, which has a field-of-view of 28 - 84 mm. By kit lens standards, this one is pretty good -- it's well built, and photos are sharp. The other ...

      Olympus E-420

      By David Fearon

      Review summary: Not the pinnacle of image quality, but superbly compact with plenty of neat features

      Verdict: There's a downside to a smaller sensor, though. Smaller, denser pixels mean increased image noise. This does make itself felt at sensitivities above ISO 400 – the results from the Canons in particular are far cleaner – but below that it's less of an ...

      Olympus E-420 review

      By Gavin Stoker

      Review summary: Not only is it one of the most lightweight and compact models in the world, the Olympus E-420 is an inexpensive DSLR that's a mighty £170 less than its Olympus E-410 predecessor.

      Verdict: 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.
