Summary: Best SLR for this price.

Comment: I have had my e410 for a few days now. I read some different reviews on it. All of them had nothing but good things to say about this camera. With in a day I knew what all the settings are and how to use it all manually. At first I was scared that there was too much. I picked up the manual and looked it over. The manual is Great. It explains every thing from what SLR stand for to focusing. Very user friendly with your trusting manual by your side you will have it all figured out in a day.

I love all the different settings to pick from. I love the size. Its small but light it fits well in my hands. My husband said "it's so small and light, but has grips in all the right places I can hold it all day." He has bigger hands then me and still found it comfortable.

The Live LCD screen is nice but I like to use the eye piece better for focusing. All the buttons are in the right places. The photo quality is great. With the software they give you allows you to put together panoramic photos. I LOVE THAT.

The manual focus is not like others. It's better for just fine adjusting. If you put in on seim automatic this way you can let the camera focus and then tweak it to what you want and that works great.

You can't beat the quality for the price. I was looking at Nikons and Cannons. The ones in this price rang did not impress me. This camera is just as good as the d40. If not better.

I could go on and on about this camera. I love it and you can't go wrong with it. This is my first DSLR I moved up from my old 35-mm SLR and this is a great camera to do that with. I highly recommend the E410 to anyone that wants a good travel DSLR that is fun to use and takes a great photo.

Summary: Great compact DSLR

Comment: I'm in love with my Oly. I like to take this everywhere but I didn't want a huge camera to lug around. Though, with my 70-300mm on it, it's a monster anyway. It takes great photos, battery life is great, and I like that it takes multiple storage cards simultaneously. It's a fantastic product for REALLY short money. I would recommend to anyone who wants to upgrade from a point and shoot. This camera WILL open you world wide. The only thing that's lacking is image stab, but the 510 or 520 are easy upgrades for the future if you decide you want it. Oly has a trade up program as well which takes the sting out of upgrading if you need to.

Summary: Good Camera, Bad LCD screen to review your pictures

Comment: I am in the prosumer category for cameras and very much interested in photography. I've researched extensively on the DSLR cameras before buying this camera and am very happy with my purchase.

When I was researching for my first DSLR, my main concerns were size, price and live view options (among some others). And this camera excels for all these. It is the smallest and the lightest DSLR camera on the market today. Price is the best you can get for a DSLR, perhaps the cheapest. And live view is a big plus although you most likely end up not using it all the time because of the shutter lag.

So, it is very capable camera and picture quality is superb. However it always needs some adjustments so are you an auto-settings-person you are better off with a DSLR-like compact camera rather than a real DSLR.

My only complaint about this camera is its poor LCD screen quality. The colors look very very dull so much that you don't realize how wonderful the actual photograph is when seen on the computer screen. I also have a Panasonic Lumix TZ3 and perhaps I have been spoiled with its superb screen quality.

This is again a very capable camera and, especially for starters I don't think there is a better option than this one (as it is the cheapest camera with quite nice tool set).

Summary: Great Camera!

Comment: Buy this camera! I have read reviews that said that this camera was too small. I am 6'2" with big hands and I think the size is perfect. I think some people are stuck in the 35mm film days and don't realize that a digital slr does not have to be like a film slr. This camera is fast, small, and light. It takes great pictures. My other digital slr is a monster compared to this. I will keep it for some things (sigma sd14) but for most of my photography the e-410 is a perfect fit. Plus it has a dust removal system which sadly the sigma does not have. For the price there is nothing else that even comes close. Unless you are a professional photographer I can't see why you would need more. Buy this camera! I got mine from Cameta for $339.00 with the 14-42 lens. The ad said refurb but mine was an untouched demo.

Summary: Olympus E-410

Comment: The E-410 is a very good buy for an advanced amateur photographer. The price is also good,when compared to other makes of similar specifications. I enjoy photo session with E-410.Olympus Evolt E410 10MP Digital SLR Camera with 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Zuiko Lens
