The World's Smallest and Lightest DSLR

Image
The Olympus E-420 has a lot of tech packed into its relatively small package. People who don't know much about photography but are dying to learn will love certain features, such as the "Perfect Shot" preview, which shows you four white balance alternatives at the same time, so you can pick the most realistic option; it does the same live previewing for exposure settings too. Olympus added face detection to the camera this time around, a popular point-and-shoot option making its way into the DSLRs. Many pictures turn out great. High ISO shots, up to 1600, look fantastic, without any noticeable noise. It may be the smallest, the lightest, the cheapest and even the highest-tech, but it's not the fastest, and in this competition, speed matters one hell of a lot.
