The latest addition to the Olympus E-System lineup, the E-420, is the world’s thinnest and smallest digital single lens reflex (SLR) camera. Like the predecessor, the E-410, released by Olympus in April 2007, the E-420 features a front-body ergonomic grip, and Olympus created the world’s thinnest and smallest SLR camera by optimizing component design, materials selection, and the camera layout. Olympus developed the box design of the E-420 by employing a flexible substrate construction, the use of high-strength engineering plastic for the internal components, and a thin metal frame. This engineering design enhanced the camera’s lightness and compactness, and at the same time provides a sturdy camera body capable of withstanding shocks and warping. The E-420 features new Live View autofocus functionality without using mirrors. In addition, the camera’s Face Detection feature can detect up to eight faces within the image area, automatically focusing and optimizing the exposure. Shadow adjustment technology provides optimal control in tracking faces and distinguishing them from the background to achieve the best exposure. The E-420 enables users to take fine contrast pictures in bad lighting conditions where there is an extreme contrast between bright and dark areas that can make taking clear pictures of people’s faces difficult. This new camera from Olympus makes it easy to take pictures that include not only the important foreground elements, but also all the natural beauty of the background. The E-420 features a 2.7-inch LCD display incorporating their new HyperCrystal II display technology, offering a broader color gamut, a 176 degree viewing angle and higher contrast for better viewing in extreme lighting conditions. Olympus Imaging plans to release the E-420 to the Japanese domestic market in mid-April.

As the only current removable-lens digital SLR with a live LCD preview, the Olympus EVOLT E-330 is sure to draw some attention. Many users moving up from all-in-one digital cameras to digital SLRs miss the ability to frame their shots on an LCD viewfinder. The new Olympus E330 solves that problem with some tricky optics and a second, dedicated viewfinder CCD. We’ve had hands-on with a prototype, and Editor Shawn Barnett and Publisher Dave Etchells recorded a video walkthrough of the camera to explain some of its operation. Shawn also wrote a User Report, after spending a couple of days shooting with the new camera, describing some of its strengths and foibles. The sample we saw was only a prototype, so we can’t share any images from it with you, but we think you’ll find this an intriguing new wrinkle in the d-SLR field. Read our review at www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E330/E330A.HTM for all the details!
