Olympus E-450 compact DSLR gets reviewed: entry-level through and through
Momma always said you couldn’t have your cake and eat it to, and we suppose it’s just about time we stop resisting and just believed. Olympus’ decidedly compact E-450 was recently reviewed over at PhotographyBLOG, and while image quality was satisfactory for a camera of its stature, it was indubitably missing a few key ingredients. Most notably, the inexplicable lack of image stabilization and the inability to handle video were lamented, and the rudimentary 3-point AutoFocus was called “frankly obsolete for a 2009 model.” Indeed, critics pointed out that the E-620 would likely be a far superior choice for those who didn’t mind the additional weight and cost, but even if the E-450 was at the top of your budget, we didn’t really get the impression that it was a surefire winner.
