The Olympus E-420 (or Olympus EVOLT E-420 in North America) is a 10 megapixel digital single-lens reflex (dSLR) camera made by Olympus. The camera conforms to the Four Thirds System standard, and together with its siblings in the E-4XX series it is marketed as the smallest DSLR in the world[1].

Features
As with the E-400 (in Europe only) and E-410 before it, the E-420 is notable for its portability, especially when coupled with a simultaneously-announced Olympus 25mm f2.8 pancake lens. Its small size is achieved by omitting the side hand grip, in-body stabilisation, and larger battery featured in other Olympus dSLRs.
The E-420 uses Olympus' Supersonic Wave Filter to remove dust from the surface of the image sensor.
E-420 was announced in March 2008 to replace the E-410, and shipping started two months later. In North America it is marketed as the EVOLT E-420.
Advantages over the E-410 include contrast autofocus (for quicker shooting in Live view mode) and automatic shadow adjustment (for greater perceived dynamic range). The E-420 also has the capability of controlling up to three external flashes wirelessly.
