Last year during the European press conference in Hamburg, Olympus gave the starting shot for a new FourThirds SLR concept and 
the first real digital compact SLR - the Olympus E-400 - was born. Unfortunately it was only the European continent that was so lucky to get acquainted with this model, as all the other continents were left out. This year Olympus made up for it all with the introduction of two new digital SLR cameras just before the PMA 2007 in Las Vegas kicked off, among them the new Olympus E-410. I had already been introduced to this camera during my visit to the PMA and thanks to a fast cooperation with Olympus we are able to carry out a full test on the Olympus E410 very shortly after its introduction.
Olympus FourThirds SLR Review
The segment, to which the Olympus E-410 belongs, is subject to strong rivalry. Of course Nikon and Canon are obviously present, but we also see Pentax and Samsung joining the battle. This is a sign for Olympus to show their strongest side and looking at the specifications on paper, we expect a lot from the new FourThirds SLR models. Quite remarkable are the many reactions and comments that seemed to appear from nowhere since the Olympus E-400 has been introduced and even more so after the introduction of the new Olympus E410 digital SLR camera. The FourThirds system is very much alive amongst consumers and that could be an important milestone for Olympus!
