If anything, I'm interested in stepping up to full frame for a physically larger image (not to mention half a dozen other reasons), not cropping yet even more info and stepping down from DX sizes.

That factor alone turns me off from the whole four-thirds market.

As the filters cost literally nothing - it's pure software - I'd say let them be. I do not expect them to clog UI more than e.g. standard "Scene" already do on all cameras.

P.S. I wouldn't mind Oly adding them to my E-520 with firmware update.]]>Mar 31st 2009 5:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/olympus-e-450-four-thirds-shooter-is-a-tweaked-e-420-still-smal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/olympus-e-450-four-thirds-shooter-is-a-tweaked-e-420-still-smal/Mar 31st 2009 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/olympus-e-450-four-thirds-shooter-is-a-tweaked-e-420-still-smal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/olympus-e-450-four-thirds-shooter-is-a-tweaked-e-420-still-smal/Mar 31st 2009 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/olympus-e-450-four-thirds-shooter-is-a-tweaked-e-420-still-smal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/olympus-e-450-four-thirds-shooter-is-a-tweaked-e-420-still-smal/
Everyone knows that's where all the real photog's shop. My grandparents picked me up a top notch Packard Bell workstation on there last year, coupled with a screaming eMachines notebook ... each were priced at least $100 less than similar offerings from Dell and came with tons of expensive software for free - like MS Paint, Solitaire, and Wordpad!

In-camera Image Stabilization, best dust removal, Pixel Mapping, Live View, great kit lenses and articulated LCD ftw.]]>Mar 31st 2009 8:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/olympus-e-450-four-thirds-shooter-is-a-tweaked-e-420-still-smal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/olympus-e-450-four-thirds-shooter-is-a-tweaked-e-420-still-smal/ ... but you might be a little disappointed with the results at low light.

I can't say for E-420, but I had a chance to compare my E-520 to Canon 1000D and 400D. Looking at the shots, difference in low light isn't that drastic. Without sufficient light AF becomes a problem, longer exposure times demand IS.

As one of my colleagues /nailed/ the problem: high ISO isn't substitute for light. IOW, you still have to have light to make a shot. He for example bought more or less immediately for his 1000D a flash and never takes it off the camera.]]>Mar 31st 2009 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/olympus-e-450-four-thirds-shooter-is-a-tweaked-e-420-still-smal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/olympus-e-450-four-thirds-shooter-is-a-tweaked-e-420-still-smal/
I wonder if the processing will improve the output of this camera. I remember the E30 and the E620 to be better in noise treatment and if the sensor is the same as before but the processing matches the E30 and 620 I guess it will be a bigger improvement than we are actually expecting.]]>Mar 31st 2009 7:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/olympus-e-450-four-thirds-shooter-is-a-tweaked-e-420-still-smal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/olympus-e-450-four-thirds-shooter-is-a-tweaked-e-420-still-smal/
Better visibility in direct sunlight says press release but still a bit low for a hop of 30 in model number.

425 would have been better number for this.]]>Mar 31st 2009 7:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/olympus-e-450-four-thirds-shooter-is-a-tweaked-e-420-still-smal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/olympus-e-450-four-thirds-shooter-is-a-tweaked-e-420-still-smal/Mar 31st 2009 6:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/olympus-e-450-four-thirds-shooter-is-a-tweaked-e-420-still-smal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/olympus-e-450-four-thirds-shooter-is-a-tweaked-e-420-still-smal/]]>Mar 31st 2009 8:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/olympus-e-450-four-thirds-shooter-is-a-tweaked-e-420-still-smal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/olympus-e-450-four-thirds-shooter-is-a-tweaked-e-420-still-smal/Apr 2nd 2009 2:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/olympus-e-450-four-thirds-shooter-is-a-tweaked-e-420-still-smal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/olympus-e-450-four-thirds-shooter-is-a-tweaked-e-420-still-smal/Mar 31st 2009 9:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/olympus-e-450-four-thirds-shooter-is-a-tweaked-e-420-still-smal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/olympus-e-450-four-thirds-shooter-is-a-tweaked-e-420-still-smal/]]>Mar 31st 2009 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/olympus-e-450-four-thirds-shooter-is-a-tweaked-e-420-still-smal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/olympus-e-450-four-thirds-shooter-is-a-tweaked-e-420-still-smal/Mar 31st 2009 4:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/olympus-e-450-four-thirds-shooter-is-a-tweaked-e-420-still-smal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/31/olympus-e-450-four-thirds-shooter-is-a-tweaked-e-420-still-smal/Not that I can't be snobbish at times, but that's not my argument here.
