Olympus E-420 DSLR Camera with 25mm lens
For when size really does matter there’s the E-420 from Olympus - one of the most compact and lightweight digital SLR cameras in existence. Perfect for the travel photographer and those that value portability, the E-420 delivers photography without compromise thanks to the unique properties of the Olympus E-system and its adopted Four Thirds Standard. It’s user friendly too, courtesy of an LCD with Live View - with the choice of either viewfinder or rear screen for shot composition.
Whatever your level of experience, high quality pictures are guaranteed due to the inclusion of 28 shooting modes, with pre-optimised settings for a range of subjects and conditions plus automatic and manual options.
Maximise the E420’s small and lightweight advantage by buying it in conjunction with this 25mm ‘pancake’ single focal length lens. Together, camera and lens offer one of the smallest and most lightweight DSLR setups on the planet.
