Olympus E-420 DSLR Camera

Olympus have supplemented their E-System range of digital cameras with their new E-420 DSLR which, apart from sporting Olympus’s Autofocus Live View technology and a 10 megapixel sensor, according to Olympus at least, assumes the mantle of being the world’s most compact DSLR.

Measuring in at a mere 5.1” x 3.6” x 2.1” – which, as far as DSLR cameras go is diminutive indeed – the new Olympus E-420 DSLR, which is based on the TruePic III processor enhanced with Shadow Adjustment Technology, comes with 2.7” HyperCrystal II 100% field of view LCD screen, no less than 28 shooting modes, integral dust reduction system and supports ISOs across the 100-1600 range.
