Olympus EVOLT E-410 Comparison

The chart below compares the E-410 with other current Olympus DSLRs. We've used color tints in the cells to highlight differences. A red cell means that the the camera involved has lesser specs than the others, a green cell that it has better, and a yellow cell that its specification is somewhere between.

Note: if you're having trouble seeing the entire width of the table, try the "Print this Page" link near the bottom of the page.
