We like:
Quick performance; light weight; live view LCD screen
We don't like:
Excessive noise reduction; some poor automatic and default settings; supplied lens too short
CNET UK judgement:
The Olympus E-410 combines the automatic functionality, preset options and simple interface of a high-end compact with the manual flexibility of a dSLR. Aside from some automatic exposure issues and intrusive noise reduction, image quality is good once you dive into the settings. The E-410 is great for newcomers to dSLRs, or more experienced photographers looking for a feature-rich yet ultra-portable dSLR

Canon PowerShot A2100 IS
We wish it were slightly faster, but it offers a useful 6x zoom and great photo quality
Canon PowerShot A480
Fuss-free compact that takes good photos given the price. Just don't expect too much from it
Canon Digital IXUS 990 IS
Good camera, but it's underspecified and overpriced, even compared to other IXUS models
Fujifilm FinePix S1500
Its lens and image quality aren't great, but it's a good option for beginner photographers

Are Micro Four Thirds cameras EVIL?
The Olympus E-P1 is the latest Micro Four Thirds camera range, and Olympus may claim it's a Pen, but we just have to ask: if it isn't EVIL, what is it?
