The E-420 with Pancake makes her already from the design what. Small and practical, high quality finish denoch it comes along. The fixed focal length 50mm KB format a new challenge even for die-hard photographers, taking pictures to rediscover. Reminds me of my analog OM-1 with the 50 1.4 lens. The Oly 420 is fun because you can take it everywhere with her low weight and proportions. It combines the advantages of an SLR and reflected almost the size of a compact camera. The DSLR outweigh typical features like changing lenses, speed and manual art work in every situation. The Oly 420 is in this combination not for beginners but a must for advanced who want to always have a camera with me. The kit provides a compelling picture quality. Sharpness, dynamic contrast and colors are matched well and can be changed individually. Noise performance from ISO 400 is not as good, could be better. The image stabilizer is not on board, which requires the use of a tripod in many situations. But that's one happy creatively use as ambitious photographer with, as there are for example very good and light by Manfrotto Modo from the series. Conclusion, this kit has Cultstatus and does not need to hide from the competitors, for me a digital OM-1, Olympus Bravo keep it up.
