Olympus Evolt E410- an affordable choice with a good quality (2009-04-14)
This is an affordable choice for an DSLR camera with a certain quality.
Especially for whom are interested in underwater photography like myself this is a pretty good option if you consider the housing price as well.

Small, light, and high performing (2009-03-21)
This is an excellent camera.

Over many years, I've shot with many cameras and in many formats: 4x5 inch sheet film in a view camera; 120 film in a Yashica TLR and in a rollholder back on a Speed Graphic and a Galvin medium format view camera; and 35 mm in rangefinders and SLRs -- Canon, Pentax, Rollei, and many Nikon models. Nikon is what I standardized on for 35 mm and eventually digital for 30 years.

I bought the Olympus e-410 about a year ago because I wanted something smaller and lighter than my Nikon equipment for pleasure travel. I haven't been disappointed. The camera is light, has a small footprint, and I get crisp, well-exposed images (by the way I almost never use the auto or scene settings).

4:3 format: No problem. It makes prints at the standard print sizes of 4x5, 5x7 and 8x10 inches with almost no cropping.

Battery life: I find no difference between the e-410 and my Nikon -- but then I never let the battery run down and I always have a charged spare on hand.

Live view: Who cares? People who like to wave their cameras around at arm's length, look at the screen, and get unsharp images should buy point and shoots. Anti-shake technology was developed for them. The rest of us hold the camera in both hands (or better still, put it on a tripod) and use the viewfinder.

Sharpness: every digital image requires sharpening in post-processing, no matter what camera produces it.

White balance and ISO-equivalent: I ran a bunch of tests (just as I have always done with every single different film used with every single lens in every single camera), and I made notes on the adjustments I needed to make in every single white balance/exposure situation. No camera comes out of the box perfect. There are countless hours of very dull testing work associated with photography if you want to do it right -- and it takes less time to do it with digital than in the darkroom.

I love this camera!!! (2009-02-09)
I love this camera, still learning new things to do with it!! Awesome picture quality and lots of great features!!!!

perfect size (2009-01-28)
I love this camera. It's small enough to fit in my bag and my small hands. Takes clear, sharp pictures and the menu us so easy to use. Noise shows up in ISO 1600, but isn't unbearable. 100-400 ISO is quite good. Can't wait to get the pancake lens for this.
