 Olympus E-400 review at DigiCamReview : Our friend Joshua Waller from DigiCamReview has published his Olympus E400 digital SLR camera review. The Olympus E400 features a new CCD with 10.0 million pixels and a state-of-the-art amplifier circuit for incredible imaging performance at super fast speed. As the design of the E-400 is based on the Four Thirds Standard, users have virtually unlimited flexibility. Like every Olympus E-System camera, the Olympus E400 digital SLR is armed with a Supersonic Wave Filter. This patented technology allows lenses to be changing - even in challenging environments - without the fear of dust contamination, giving users the brilliance of dust-free pictures every time.

 Olympus E-400 Review
According to Joshua Waller: "The camera is very easy to use, especially in the AUTO mode and the scene modes, even though the camera has a lot of options. The controls on the back of the camera are quite straightforward - the menus are responsive and easy to read and navigate. The menus are also easy to use, and the options are big enough and easy enough to see clearly. The modes are easy to access, quick and simple, mainly thanks to the large screen (most options are easily accessible by use of the ok button and the direction arrows) which makes it easier to use."
Olympus E-400 camera - Buttons and Ergonomics
Joshua continues: "The shutter release is good. The scrolling wheel has multiple functions and in play mode is used to zoom in on your picture so you compare magnified sections of one image with the previous or next, making it simple to decide which shot is the one with least camera shake. I thought the camera felt good ergonomically, despite the cameras lack of handgrip compared to other Olympus DSLRs, the small body is easy to hold, and has good sized rubber grips at the front and back."
Olympus E-400 digital SLR camera - Image quality and RAW
"Image quality is very good to excellent, the images have excellent colour, with good saturation, contrast and detail, with low noise except for high ISO images. Images were slightly soft straight from the camera and could benefit from sharpening - for maximum detail and colour control RAW images should be taken. Purple fringing was very low, as was red-eye. The camera did a good job focusing even in low light thanks to the flash assist. I did not notice vignetting in photos, nor did I notice barrel or pincushion distortion. There is a very good range of image sizes, and a good choice of compression options (including RAW)," concludes Joshua. You want to learn more about the Olympus digital SLR camera?
