Live view most likely on e-410...

[Raist3d]

In another forum apparently Olympus Australia leaked some e-410 information, and it did document live view as one of its features...

Now, if the e-410 has IS (doubt it), sign me up for one instead of the E-3.

The E-410 isn't suppose to have IS, but the E-510 is. Probably a gift to the no can get E-400 crowd for not being able to get the E-400...

I don't really know what the difference is between the E-500 and the E-400 other than size.

I agree - an E-410 + LV + IS sounds great. I'd be impressed if it materialised though. I'm in a dilemma now as I still think the E-1 is the best 4:3rds camera out there in handling and build, and probably in sheer straight out of the box image quality. I don't want to lose that feeling, but a fully featured E-410 would be tempting. Having a slightly bigger body helps in other ways though - even a 50-200mm doesn't balance that well on an E-400. The fast f/2's would likely be even more silly on an E-400. Maybe I just need to work my arm muscles a bit in preparation for a beefed-up E-X. Only a month or so to wait and see what materialises. I've said it before and I'll say it again - I think this will be a signifiant year for the 4:3rds standard.

I think so too.. But I must say one thing I have clearly learned- I can let others have the "big heavy" equipment if that makes them feel better (not referring to you at all, you obviously understand this). "Invisible" equipment is the best. An equipment I can put in a small bag and carry anywhere without thinking "this weights so much" is the best to me.

That said, the stuff I just posted on E-3 is sure exciting.. so.. I am not rulling out an E-3, but an e-410 that is water resistant would certainly get my look.
