CNET Asia Review
Very good
The good: Small form factor; Live View with autofocus; scene modes to help beginners get started; Super Sonic Wave Filter. 7
out of 10View score
The bad: No image stabilization system; autofocus sluggish in dim environment; no dedicated focusing mode switch.
The bottom line: The Olympus E-420 is a good beginner's dSLR with an extremely compact footprint that should go well with travelers. Just don't expect any fancy features for this budget model.

Just like an old OM 35mm series, the size a camera should be

Pros: Small size, low weight, excellent colour saturation
Cons: No image stabilisation
Opinion:
This is the perfect travel camera, the quality of an SLR in a package about the size of a bridge compact. The Olympus lenses are excellent, and the image quality and colour saturation from JPEGs is great. Only at higher ISOs is there any evidence of noise. A great travel camera, and a great 2nd body for someone with an E3 system. Also, it is extremely cheap. For the next model in this series, if Olympus add IS and an articulating live-view screen, they would have almost the perfect camera. Canon & Nikon (& Sony & Pentax), eat your heart out,
