More Olympus reviews , RRP: AU$799.00
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.

In this season of offerings, we've noticed two growing trends among manufacturers: touchscreen-enabled or ultra-high resolution point-and-shoots. But Olympus' latest darling in its Mju family, the Mju 1060 has neither. So does this new shooter have what it takes to pit itself against other more sophisticated compacts?
It is easy to like the FE-320 for its stylish looks and feature-rich specifications. But what we like to applaud Olympus for is in making things work.
It has been about two years since Panasonic's last LX-series camera, the DMC-LX2, was launched. One of the most interesting things about that model was its 16:9 aspect ratio sensor and a good range of manual controls not usually found in digital compact cameras. We spent a day with the upcoming successor to the LX2, the DMC-LX3. Here's what we found out.
The Canon EOS 1000D is a good entry-level dSLR, but only its photo quality stands out among the competition.
Looking to lure existing Nikonistas, dSLR virgins and the Canon convertee, Nikon has announced the D90, the first digital SLR to feature video recording.

Give me camera that holds my hand while I'm trying to figure out all the settings available. Otherwise I'll stick with a cheaper camera like the Fuji s100fs which offers ease of use and manual controls that a klutz like me can handle or leave it on auto.
Pros: Sorry...
Cons: Sorry....... afraid to lay out the cash

Looks like Olympus has aimed this one more for those moving up from compact digital camera's-with the inclusion of face detection and the whole affixation on it being the smallest/lightest/thinnest DSLR being the main evidence. But hey if it gets people to buy it, then prices should drop on lenses and accessories in time which can only a good thing. I'll stick with my E-510.
Pros: Bringing more lenses to to the Olympus family.
Cons: Doesnt look like theres much of a hand grip there....bit like the E-410.
