Olympus E-420 ‘takes a step forward’
23 Jun 2008
A new digital camera from Olympus has been put to the test this week by Computer Active magazine.
According to a review for the publication, the Olympus E-420 digital camera follows the manufacturer’s E-410 model and offers a ten-megapixel digital SLR which is worth attention.
The article states that the Olympus E-420 does have some similarities to its predecessor but adds that a number of things make the model “a step forward”.
“A new processor … in the E-420 does allows a faster shooting speed of 3.5 frames per second and Shadow Adjustment Technology now automatically adjusts tricky exposures so that detail in both light and shade is maintained,” the review notes.
A 2.7-inch screen is also welcomed over the Olympus E-410’s 2.5-inch model, however, it is pointed out that the resolution here remains the same.
For those looking for a more compact model, the 10.1-megapixel Olympus Mju 1030sw may be of interest.
