With the E-420, Olympus proves that high performance D-SLR photography can be enjoyed by everyone. Despite packing even more potential than its predecessor, this new E-System model boasts extreme user-friendliness in a light and compact take-anywhere form.
Whatever the photographer's level of experience, high-quality images are achievable by anyone. 28 shooting modes, including automatic, semi-automatic and manual shooting options, ensure complete versatility - while retaining both ease of use and the distinct D-SLR quality advantages.
A powerful 10.0 Megapixel Live MOS sensor provides plentiful resolution for crisp, detailed shots. This is supported by the incorporation of the TruePic III image processor which enables the implementation of Shadow Adjustment Technology (SAT). It guarantees exceptionally true-to-life image reproduction while reducing noise and enhancing processing speed. Sequential shooting at up to 3.5fps in full Megapixel mode is also possible with up to eight images in RAW buffer.
The newest addition to the E-System family, the E-420 will hit stores from late April 2008.
