The Olympus E-410 is an unusually small and light 10 Megapixel digital SLR aimed at compact or super-zoom owners who are looking to upgrade, along with enthusiasts who want a camera they can use in situations where a traditional DSLR would be too cumbersome. It’s the latest model to employ the maturing Four Thirds DSLR standard and while priced as an entry-level product, there’s currently no Four Thirds body with a higher resolution.
The E-410 employs a retro look and feel, abandoning a modern grip for a flat-fronted body which resembles 35mm film SLRs of the 80s. It’s certainly anything but old-fashioned in terms of features though, sporting a new N-MOS sensor with unique Live View facilities which allow you to compose using the main colour monitor as an alternative to the traditional optical viewfinder. It also features the renowned Olympus SSWF system for eliminating dust. Read the whole review here
