Olympus E-420 DSLR Camera with 14-42mm & 40-150mm lenses Small yet perfectly formed for digital photography
For when size really does matter there’s the E-420 from Olympus, one of the most compact and lightweight digital SLRs in existence. Perfect for the travel photographer and those for who portability is key, the E-420 delivers photography without compromise thanks to the unique properties of the Olympus E-system and its adopted Four Thirds Standard. Courtesy of an LCD with Live View, it’s user friendly too, with the choice of either viewfinder or rear screen for shot composition.
Extend your creative boundaries at both wide and telephoto ends of the spectrum with this value-added dual lens kit comprising 14-42mm lens with a 35mm equivalent focal length of 28-84mm (a full 3x zoom performance), ideal for landscapes, plus 40-150mm perfectly suited to both portrait and sports photography. Due to the unique properties of the Four Thirds system, like the E420 DSLR both lenses are much more compact and lightweight than their 35mm equivalents..

Helpful consumer’s review
I am new to SLR cameras but wanted good camera as I am going on a 3 month trip early next year. I did a bit of research and I have had olympus cameras before so I decided to get the Olympus E420. I just went for weeks holiday and I brought the camera with me to get used to it. The camera is really easy to use and the quality of the pictures are second to none. Within the space of 5 minutes I was up and running. The controls are really simple to use. The auto focus feature allows you to point the camera, press auto focus and shoot. The camera has multple different scene selections that sets the different features such as flash intensitity, shutter speed etc… for you based to the different scene you select. These different scenes really make a difference to the pictures produced. All of these can be configured manually but I havnt got that far yet. The two lenses are again very eay to use as the auto focus does that last bit of focusing for you. (This can also be done manually). One of the main reasons why I went for this camera is that as when travelling for the 3 months I want a small camera and this camera is very neet and tidy and exactly what I want for my trip. I know I have only touched on the potential of this camera and have lots to learn but it has impressed me, so much so that I decided to write this review. So I would totally recommend this camera to a novice like myself who wants to learn how to use a slr camera.
