Sharp
Detailed close-up pictures. Pleasant colors in average light. Live-view mode allows odd-angle shots. Speedy
Responsive action. Advanced manual controls.

RAW format support.
Very compact and lightweight digital SLR
Especially when combined with the 25mm pancake lens
Comfortable to hold despite the lack of a real grip
Control panel display allows quick access to most important shooting parameters
Generally snappy performan...

Photos are slightly soft
Noise reduction a bit heavy at ISO 1600 (shoot RAW to avoid)

Functional improvements over the earlier E-410 are relatively minor ones
Two of the E-410’s scene modes have sunk without a trace
No image stabilization
Small size may prove problematic for large hands
2x sensor crop factor detracts from wide angle lens width
Olympus E420
Small grip can make it difficult to comfortably handle camera
Becomes much more pronounced when long lenses are applied
Shutter lag in Live View (can reach at much as 2.6 seconds)
LCD show odd metallic-like sheen in bright daylight
Can be distracti...
Photos get noisy at 800 ISO and higher. Viewfinder feels small. LCD stays lit even when sighting camera.
Fewer buttons means it takes more menusurfing to adjust basic settings like ISO and white balance. Facedetection feature can be slow. Four Thirds lens compatibility is largely moot
As no manufacturers beside Olympus and pricey Sigma support the standard...
LCD could be a little brighter for outdoor shooting with live view and is prone to smearing
LCD turns monochrome and noisy in low light
Auto white balance and presets not brilliant (but there is a white balance fine tune option)
Compact and lightweight design; Live View is great for taking shots at difficult angles; good dynamic range; dust reduction system.
Poor ISO performance; slow focusing in Live View mode.
All in all, the main advantage the E-420 over other entry-level DSLR is its size and weight. It is compact and light enough to be carried around for every day use, making it ideal for amateur photographers looking to practise their skills. The Live Vi...

El tamaño, considerando que es una cámara SLR. La versatilidad que tiene en cuanto a detección de escenas y funciones automáticas. Cuenta con un control de flash inalámbrico
En escenas de poca luz, la cámara arroja algo de ruido digital. El enfoque es suave. El flash no es tan potente y la exposición no es adecuada. La batería podría durar un poco más
Recomendada a usuarios principiantes que salen de viaje y quieren una cámara pequeña que ofrezca funciones atractivas. Por ser un equipo de lentes intercambiables, es necesario contar con una amplia variedad, y así obtener mejores resultados....
Abstract: Cuando Olympus lanzó primero la E-400, seguida por la E-410 no mucho después, mostraron por primera vez como podía llegar a ser de compacta una réflex digital del sistema FourThirds. El diseño me gustó inmediatamente, y aunque tenía el prejuicio de qu...

L'Olympus E-420 est avant tout intéressant par son format et sa légèreté. Si les photos délivrées par l'appareil sont convaincantes, la qualité (gestion du bruit électronique, dynamique...) est un peu en ret...

Die Olympus E-420 ist eine Spezialistin. Wer eine möglichst kleine DSLR will, muss einfach ein paar Kompromisse bei der Ergonomie, der Platzierung der rechten Gurtöse und der Akkulaufzeit machen. Die Kamera ist für kleine Objektive gebaut. Technisch g...
