Olympus E-400

October 29th, 2006

My ideal camera, the Olympus E-400 Digital SLR.
It’s the worlds smallest SLR - Size 130 x 91 x 53 mm (5.1 x 3.6 x 2.1 in), weight 420 g (14.8 oz), 4/3 lens system standard with 10 megapixel resolution, dust protection (but no live preview or image stabalization). The compactness of the camera is what draws me to it. Right now I’m using an Olympus C-7070, while it’s and excellent camera, I’m still holding out for the ideal SLR to upgrade to. The form factor of the E-400 is a step to the right direction since I like to travel light. Sadly, this camera is only available in Europe starting early November 2006. I’ll have to keep an eye out for grey market imports…
