Tecool.co.uk - Olympus E-420 + ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 14-42mm 1:3.5-5.6 lens, Digital Camera

Olympus has added another camera to its popular E-400 range with the E-420! This model is the successor to the E-410 and is loaded with a host of powerful technologies, including an 11.8-megapixel Live MOS sensor and a large 2.7' LCD screen.

The E-420 is incredibly portable and easy to use, and is one the smallest digital SLR camera ever made by its manufacturer, Olympus. It captures images with bright colours and finite details, thanks to its face detection system and special compensation function, which counteracts the effects of shade. It has 18 scene modes and 28 shooting modes, so even beginners can try their hand at photography and get brilliant results.

The E-420 is also equipped with an automatic mode, a semi-automatic mode and a manual mode for greater flexibility when you?re taking photos. Its Live MOS sensor pays attention to detail, while its anti-dust filter, unique to Olympus, uses a supersonic wave to dislodge any dust that has settled on the sensor. This filter is activated every time you turn the camera on, so you can be sure of taking fantastic shots every time! With the E-420, Olympus has shown us yet again that high-tech photography is accessible to everyone!

Please note that this SLR camera is supplied with a ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 14-42mm 1:3.5-5.6 lens, which can be used for wide-angle photography.
