  • Easy to Use DSLR

    The Olympus E-420 is a lightweight/small DSLR with very good image quality and a nice selection of lenses. It feels half the weight of my Nikon D300, which could probably survive a fall off a 30 story building. So I end up grabbing the E-420 or my 520 when I'm going to be carrying the camera for extended periods. The only difference in the 420 vs. 520 is the 520 is slightly larger and has image stabilization, which is nice but not absolutely necessary. All in all the E-420 is still a viable option in a dslr, especially with their low buy in.

  • Great camera. Excelent deal

    Camera nearly spotless. And even came with a kit lens. Much to my surprise. Since I was only looking for a second E-420 body. For use in my work in microscopy. Was a real steal at $80 dollars. Definitely got my moneys worth!

  • 'Lightweight, feels great in hands'

    The Olympus E420 is truly a fun camera to use. Lightweight, quick and easy to use. Although not as fast start-up as newer models, it is still easy to use and takes great pictures.
