More Olympus reviews , RRP: AU$799.00

The good:

  • Small form factor
  • Live View with autofocus
  • Scene modes to help beginners get started
  • Super Sonic Wave Filter

The bad:

  • No image stabilization system
  • Autofocus sluggish in dim environment
  • No dedicated focusing mode switch

The bottomline:

The Olympus E-420 is a good beginner's dSLR with an extremely compact footprint that should go well with travellers. Just don't expect any fancy features for this budget model.
