Olympus Evolt E-410 Review

OLYMPUS E-410 EVOLT

An unusually slim and lightweight 10-MP camera, the E-410 includes a very effective sensor dust removal system and a full time Live View option for composing photos before they are taken. The LiveView display is accurate in terms of white balance, exposure, and depth of field. Autofocus is available, although it's slow , and there's a lot of pausing and clicking when the camera's reflex mirror moves up and down; manual focus is more convenient in Live View. Featuring many enthusiast-level functions, the E-410 offers great value for the price and is relatively easy to use thanks to many analog controls and fully automatic modes. It's compatible with Four Thirds AF lenses from Olympus, Panasonic/Leica, and Sigma with a 2x focal length conversion factor.

In normal shooting mode, Autofocus worked well, although it was not the best with very fast, erratic motion. On the other hand, burst mode is unusually fast, great for shooting many
large/fine JPEGs at 3 frames per second. My JPEGs are colourful, very sharp, and richly
detailed; they made for very nice 13 x 17.3" ink-jet prints. A leader in advanced technology,
the E-410 will appeal to those who appreciate its valuable features or simply want a
D SLR/lens combo that's unusually small and portable.
