This camera has an MSRP of $699 for the body plus TWO lenses (street price will probably be less). It's significantly cheaper then entry level cameras from other makers. Let's also consider that the Nikon D60/D60 had also only a 3-point AF as well. Yes, this camera doesn't have an in-body image stabilization, but not a single camera from Canon nor Nikon does either.

This camera isn't my cup of tea, but it's extraordinarily compact dSLR that's hundreds of dollars cheaper then the competition.]]>May 29th 2009 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/
The E620 seems excellent - just a little bit bigger, but with a better AF system and image stablization. Screw video mode - I wish my 500D/T1i had in camera stablization for those low light shots. Imagine the night shot possibilities - f2.0 + 1/20 shutter speeds. ]]>May 29th 2009 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/May 29th 2009 4:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/Well I can get a Canon XS or XSi (which both kill this thing) with two image stabilized lenses for the price of this...]]>May 29th 2009 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/
Also, E-4x0 are somewhat different cameras. This is something light and simple enough to have always around - yet sufficiently functional to allow you to take good pictures. It is even smaller than Canon 1000D. And Oly's lenses are smaller too. And lighter. Finally, unless you are pixel-peeper, you will not see much difference in IQ too. And if you are pixel-peeper, you would quite soon discover that the kit lenses are *good*, while two cheapo EF-S IS lenses are very so so. And IS will not help much to alleviate that.]]>May 29th 2009 5:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/May 30th 2009 2:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/May 29th 2009 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/May 29th 2009 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/May 29th 2009 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/At least they give some kind of choice...]]>May 29th 2009 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/May 29th 2009 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/May 29th 2009 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/May 29th 2009 11:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/

[sarcasm]A camera with no movie mode is sooooooooo last month.[/sarcasm]

How's that?]]>May 29th 2009 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/May 29th 2009 1:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/The Image Stab isn't there in many other makes, engadget pointed out the lack of it on this cheapo camera and now everyone thinks it's a must although, as someone else pointed out above, it's not. Canon doesn't have it and Nikon don't either, it's always in the lense if it's present.

As for video... get real engadget! there's no entry-level cameras that have it and another generation has to pass for all the pro models to have it aswell. Don't you think that your expectations are a tad too high? Especially since there's no olympus pro models that have video either]]>Jun 24th 2009 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/May 29th 2009 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/May 29th 2009 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/May 29th 2009 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/May 29th 2009 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/May 29th 2009 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/May 29th 2009 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/29/olympus-e-450-compact-dslr-gets-reviewed-entry-level-through-an/ With an Olympus body with no IS your screwed, if you ever want IS.

B.S.

Do some research.

Regarding IS yeah in lowlight situations it can kind of suck without a tripod.
