Olympus E-420 DSLR: Smaller, Lighter, Cheaper
In case you were worried that digital SLRs would remain priced higher than point-and-shoots, Olympus is breaking down the $500 barrier with its, well, $499.99 E-420. (Kinda makes you feel like sparkin' a doobie, don't it?) Sure, it'll cost you an extra hundred to get a 14-42mm starter lens, but this is the beginning of the truly affordable DSLR. That's not the only thing Olympus is excited about though: the 13.4-oz. E-420 is up to 40% lighter than other DSLRs in its class, and is being declared the "world's smallest digital SLR" by its maker. All that while retaining Live View, a 10-megapixel sensor and a 2.7" LCD. We can't wait to try it out. Jump for press release and chart of freakishly detailed specs. Just one question, Olympus: What happened to the Evolt brand? More » -

Nikon Steadies Up 18-55mm Kit Lens With Image Stabilization
Feature trickle—the movement of bells and whistles from high-end to low-end gear—is great. As Crave points out, image stabilization is one that's been falling down the line pretty steadily, now landing in Nikon's standard kit 18-55mm lens. The new, tricked out AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm f3.5-5.6G VR lens— VR standing for vibration reduction—is only $200, and launches next month, just in time for stocking stuffing. [Crave] -

Olympus Evolt E-410 Unboxed and Well Fondled (Verdict: Quite Nice, but Nikon D40 is Nicer)
If you don't know about the E-410, it's a 10-megapixel digital SLR packed into a remarkably slim body, selling for an impressively low price ($700 for body only, $800 for one lens, $900 including two lenses). The value proposition increases when you consider it includes Live View—the ability to get a video preview of your shot on the main LCD, á la point-and-shoot cameras. We talked about all of this and more when we introduced it to you at PMA. Now that it's here, is it the end-all be-all? Did it take pretty pictures? Keep reading to learn about my hands-on E-410 experience, and see some shots. More » -

Canon Readying 22-Megapixel EOS-1Ds Mark III?
Canon designers must be getting penis envy over that Hasselblad 31-megapixel super-camera we showed you last week (or its 39-megapixel bro), because now we're hearing rumors that Canon might at least approach that pixel count with a 22-megapixel digital SLR in the works. More » -
