This camera is a new camera in the E series and can be viewed as an upgrade model on the E-410, but with noticeable design differences in a bigger, more holdable body with a sturdy grip. It adds image stabilisation technology to the spec carried by the E-410, which results in a gain of up to 4 stops of in light sensitivity through the practical use of slower shutter speeds. The LiveMOS sensor enables LiveView functionality in this 10 megapixel camera. As with all Olympus DSLRs this camera uses the Four Thirds lens and sensor standard that is smaller than APS-C but reduces the effects of shading around the periphery of the image and affords a more compact design. It is a technology feature driven camera for enthusiasts who want the latest ease of use features. It has a dual card slot for Compact Flash and xD memory cards.
