Olympus E-410

Excellent – This awesome SLR camera is great for those looking to purchase their first SLR or upgrade from a normal 'point and shoot' digital camera. I have had my E-410 for 2 years now and I take it everywhere! Also not too complicated if you wish to learn how to use a camera properly by taking it off the auto settings and instead choosing ISO, Aperature, etc, manually. I've bought several different sized lenses to use with the camera and it takes clear, crisp shots. Like I said above, if you're a professional photographer then this camera isn't for you. But for photography enthusists like myself, this camera will do the job with great results. A good entry-level SLR camera, competitively priced and not too big or bulky! If you're looking to be a professional photographer, then obviously this camera would be a little too simple/basic for your needs.

Excellent – Fantastic, been using for 3 years and never a problem. Small and light enough to take everywhere and cheap enough to not be too worried about using (take mine rock climbing). Obviously not a pro camera but covers all the basics well enough for creative photography. Small - really small Great pictures Great value with lens bundle Zuiko lenses are also great (wont find a better kit lens) No image stabilisation Oly software is not the best
