 Most people wouldn’t consider the jungle as being the most ideal or scenic location to indulge in photography. After all, the recent heatwave and the fear of constant attacks from mosquitoes and bugs are enough to put off any budding photographer.
However that didn’t stop Olympus from taking a few journalists to take test drive with their new Evolt E410 DSLR camera in the rainforests of Malaysia. Here’s the conclusion: “Overall, the Olympus Evolt E410 is a good entry-level DSLR for beginners – it has a good user interface and well-labelled buttons that make it really easy to use for first time users.
However, the E410 suffers from dynamic range problems. Also, the camera’s slow autofocus in Live View mode makes it impractical for point-and-shoot photography. While it may not be for everyone, the E410 may just be the camera you are looking for if you intend to get your feet wet in the DSLR world.
Pros: Lightweight; good user interface; Live View mode; dual format card support.
Cons: Problems with dynamic range; slow autofocus speed in Live View mode.”
