Olympus E-400
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The E-400 is a digital single-lens reflex camera launched by Olympus the 14 September 2006, using the Four Thirds System lens mount standard.[1]. This 10 megapixel camera could be compared to recent DSLRs unveiled during the 2006 summer with comparable pixel count and price range: the Sony α 100, the Nikon D80, the Canon EOS 400D and the Pentax K10D.
It is notable for its small size, leaving a hand grip and benefiting of the smaller sensor to weight only 375g and approaching manual focus film SLRs sizes, reminding the OM system. It is accompanied by two new small zooms, a 14-42mm (28-84mm 135 film format equivalent) f/3.5-5.6 standard zoom weighting 190g and a 40-150mm (80-300mm equivalent) f/4.0-5.6 long zoom weighting 220g. The body and single lens kit have a 700GB£ MSRP and 850GB£ for the two lens kit.[2]
