olympus e410 or e420?

420 is much better indoors because of the new feature that corrects the shadows in low light indoor shooting plus it handles the new remote flash line

I do not have knowledge of the Olympus E 410 cameras. However what I can say is that if the Olympus E-410 Camera does not require a specific flash unit, then it is more than likely than not, that these units can be used with this camera. Contacts required for triggering the transmitter unit (which will then trigger the receivers attached to the flash,) will be a side contact and the middle contact in the center of the camera hot shoe. Maybe another more knowledgeable enthusiast can confirm this or provide a different experience.

I am partial to Canon and am excited to see they are introducing a model in the rugged, waterproof class. I previously used the first generation waterproof Olympus Stylus and after it broke moved to the Pentax Optio W series. It has been a good camera as far as durability, but it just doesn't produce photos like our Canon Powershot SD1000. As far as the post question, I can't wait to see some product reviews/comparisons. Based on my previous experience with the Stylus line, I am ruling out the Olympus. Although right now I am leaning towards the Canon based on previous experience with their products and superior photos. However, the Panasonic offering higher video quality in HD format is enticing.

The Leica viewfinder looks identical to the Olympus in every way but I would try it before buying it. There you go, someone has used it with success

THIS QUESTION IS ANSWERED. THANKS TO ALL. (I ended up buying the Olympus E-M1.)

After all I have read about the 520, I went with another e-510 as a backup camera. If you want the e-510 make sure you get one now, they stopped making this camera. So once it's gone thats it.

The correct name of the Olympus lens referred to is a 40 -150mm 1:4-5.6 . This lens fits an Evolt E420 with no adapter needed.

I'd go with the 430 EX, not the new one. I bought one about 6 months ago and I think it recycles fats enough, but I guess that depends on what you're taking pictures of. I don't tend to burst in photo's I need a flash for. I got the remote for it, which works great and I can get in the picture or better yet, keep the camera for moving on the tripod for night photo's.

Go to Google search and type in......"Olympus 14-150 vs 40-150" ..... and your first hit will come to 'Dpreview.com' . That site will take you directly to a forum discussion of that exact question. You will have your detailed answer.

I bought this camera for the same reson. It is a great camera to learn digital photography on. The EVF is a little but small and low resolution but at least it has one. I would recommend it. And the zoom range is incredible.

Don't own a Nikon or Cannon but the Olympus seems to take ok pictures. Portrait setting pictures with flash better than pictures taken with auto setting.

At $399, the E-PL1 is one of the best buys around. I shoot Nikon full frame cameras and I carry an E-PL1 with me when I need to go light. I've never been disappointed with the quality from the Oly so long as I recognize its limitations. It isn't a DSLR and never will be, but it produces imagery far better than any of the Point and Shoots I've owned, including the coveted Panasonic LX-5 (Leica DeLux D-5)/

Yes, quite. And good set of options in regard to recording sensitivity etc., compared to my previous Olympus, circa 2008. The only feature that requires some acclimation is the playback speed function -- there's an extra step involved. Haven't fully mastered the MP3 music folders -- the manual's a bit vague on that score -- but those are a bonus anyway.

I bought the E510 with the two lenses here on Amazon about 4 months ago after doing a lot of research. I chose the Oly because it did, indeed, come out as the best entry level dslr for the money. Most 'bang for your buck' so to speak. No buyer's remorse here...I couldn't be happier with it.

Would love it if someone could comment on this. I am at the same decision point. Was also looking at the Sigma EF-530 DG Super, which is cheaper than the Canon 430. I am working with a Canon EOS Rebel XT and am an amateur. Translation, automated functionality is very desirable where possible ... but I'm also looking for a reasonable price. I'd really appreciate it if someone could share their advice. Thanks in advance for your help with this.

Neewer Batteries (2x) LI-42B for Olympus SP Series ($4.98) works great for me.
