The third camera in the Olympus E-400 series, the E-420 boasts a few improvements and a great price. But can it stand up against fierce competition from the Sony a200 and Nikon D60? Let’s find out if this diminutive camera can make a big name for itsel...
This is what a FourThirds camera should be like – small and lightweight and the perfect choice for those who prefer to travel light. Most significant improvement is the addition of the very effective Live View function and it’s this that makes the E-4...

The E-420 is certainly a tiddler when compared with most other DSLRs on the market, measuring 129.5 x 91 x 53mm and weighing just 380g without the battery. That said, the E-420 is hardly in the same league as a compact camera, especially when you slap...
The focus systems worked well, although close-up shooting in the macro mode was a struggle at times, with the E-420 taking quite a while to lock onto the subject. In fact, we weren’t terribly convinced by many of the pre-set modes on offer. Night mo...

Looking like one of the maker’s OM models from the 1980s, Olympus’ latest Four Thirds camera, the tiny E-420, replaces the E-410 as the world’s smallest digital SLR. Although it has the same ten-megapixel resolution Live-MOS sensor, the addition of the...

A year on from the Olympus E-410 comes the company's new entry-level model, the E-420.Initially, the two 10-megapixel digital SLRs look identical, save for a raised ridge on the E-420’s grip, which affords a firmer hold on the camera. The lack of any t...

It's easy to lose sight of the smaller players in a digital SLR market so heavily dominated by Canon and Nikon, but there's still healthy competition for third place. Olympus has been canny in giving the E-420 (and its predecessor the E-410) a unique s...

In a group of cameras this month that you might be hard-pressed to tell apart, the E-420 is a breath of fresh air. First of all, Olympus claims it’s the smallest and lightest DSLR there is. That isn’t quite true – its predecessor the E-410 was marginal...

This 10 megapixel digital SLR is built around the four-thirds sensor used by Olympus and Panasonic/Leica. It is the smallest and probably the lightest DSLR on the market, but it is not flimsy. It has one of the best implementations of so-called live v...
The picture quality is very good and the full feature list is truly impressive. Other makers tend to leave functions out in order to distance the entry level cameras from their posher units – Olympus doesn’t do that. The live view arrangement...
The aspect ratio of a Four Thirds sensor is 4:3. The aspect ratio of a standard or A4 photo print is 3:2. So composing in the viewfinder will be a hit and miss affair and pixels are thrown away.
This camera has been created to make the transition from compact to DSLR as easy as possible. If you really like holding a camera at arm’s length (a ridiculous posture) to take photos rather than sensibly bracing it against your face then the E-420...

Don't be put off by the entry-level tag. The Olympus E-420 is a fully-featured D-SLR – actually probably too fully featured for many first-timers – with the advantage of being incredibly compact and lightweight. In reality, this camera can do just about a...
