Finally received my Olympus E-420

[noidea]

Please enjoy. I bought it in US for $569.95 and pay $65 shipped to Australia Tax free. I reckon in Singapore should be cheaper but i can't wait till Dec when i go to Sing. So total is SIng Dollar 862.00. Could have bought a pancake lense with that price in Sing i guess.

Enjoy !


This camera is really small. I like it alot. Very good for me to travel !

Hi noidea,

the E420 looks very nice with the "blue" color theme.. did you purchase this from a shop in US or via Ebay? tempted to buy, I'm in Australia now, S$862 is a good price with kit lens

enjoy your new toy and let us know how you think this camera performs when you get to go out to shoot with it!

From ebay US. Shiiping is $65 by EMS. Get to Australia in 5 working days no tax. It is a bargain compare to if you buy it here at the shop.

Really enjoy the camera. I can't take shoot b/c no card. I'm waiting for my card to arrive.

Don't worry abt warranty issue b/c we get worldwide warranty. LOL

Yep, from what I know, Aussie photographic equipment prices isn't exactly the cheapest in the world, it's much better to get it shipped from the US.

Wow. Looks really cute and small.

Congratz noidea. Thanks for taking the trouble to share your joy.

It is great that u got this camera. The photos that you took of this camera are terrible!!!

[jimbok]

Very nice! Do you mind taking a picture of your hands holding the camera? I am really curious how this looks on the hands.

[dorts]

I think the problem will still be with the "grip". Definitely improved, but still not enough to hold comfortably like the E-510 I think. For small hands should be ok.

[jimbok]

If compared to a traditional SLR like the Nikon FM (sorry), I think it will feel a lot better?

[weekh]

Any idea on the availability of the e-420 and the 25mm lens in Singapore?

The grip purposedly is small... less protrusion, so can get titles like 'the world's smallest dSLR' etc.

It felt horrible to me. It's like a large, heavy point-and-shoot with amazing capabilities, of course. I think it's perfect for Live View, though, since the grip hardly matters at all.
