Olympus E-410 video tour

We're pleased to present a short video tour of the Olympus E-410 - the world's smallest and lightest digital SLR at the time of writing. This video discusses the E-410's size and design and demonstrates its screen, controls and the new Live View facilities. There's no need to download any new software - just press the play button in the middle of the screen below and wait for the video to start; you may need to press the button twice. The quality and any delay before playing may vary depending on your internet connection.

Good points

Small and light without compromising comfort.
Very effective anti-dust system.
Unique Live View facility.
Easy access to settings.

Bad points
Very limited anti-shake options.
Body may be too small for bigger hands.
Motorised manual focus (like all Four Thirds).
E-510 a tempting alternative with anti-shake.
