Hey:D

As a few people know, I'm on the search for a dslr camera. So obviously I looked at Canon and Nikon straight away and didn't even consider other manufacturers.

So today I saw the Olympus E-420 dslr which would be equivalent to a Nikon D40 (Price). To be honest it looks quite good. The issues I have discovered so far is the lens mount (four thirds lenses, not sure what type of lens mount that is, help me out, is it like a F-mount or what?), The aspect ration (4-3, so 4x6 prints are out), and it looks very much like an advanced digicam, does it have all the features a normal dslr has (like a Nikon d40 and Canon 400D or maybe Canon 1000d)?

Thanx for help!!:)
 
What price range are you looking at? I have a 450D (retails now for R9000) and it's amazing. It might be entrylevel when compared to what you can get, but atm I'm not spending R18k+ on a camera.
 
Olympus E-520 is a beautiful camera at a really good price. I regret not going for that.
