Along with the E-510, the Evolt E-410 is the first 10-plus megapixel DSLR from Olympus available in the U.S. The E-410 and E-510 are very different cameras; the E-410 is smaller and lacks the E-510's mechanical stabilization components. Both share a ton of features, however, such as the Live MOS sensor with full-color autofocus-able preview; dual card slots for CompactFlash and xD media; a third-generation TruePic III processing engine; 176-degree LCD viewing angle; and RAW (.ORF), JPEG, and RAW + JPEG capture.
The E-410 is svelte, bordering on petite. The finger grip and battery bulge beneath the shutter button is much less pronounced than on most competitors. The slim lines and light weight are accomplished through a number of interesting design and engineering choices (the electronics have been shrunk and the mirror is not set at 45 degrees to the focal plane). The pentamirror is positioned to compensate for the change in mirror angle, and the image in the viewfinder is unaffected, but this clever bit of engineering allows for some smaller overall dimensions.
For an extra $100, the E-410 will be available with Olypus's 14mm-42mm lens; for $200 more, it comes with both the 14mm-42mm and the 40mm-150mm lens.
