Quick review

The good
Handling, image quality, ease of use (despite the compact size), good kit lenses, responsive
The bad
Although better than the E400, the Pentamirror viewfinder is still small and quite gloomy, Live View hampered in bright conditions, noticeable barrel distortion on 14-42mm standard zoom
Verdict
The E410 is an entry-level model but one packed with enough features to satisfy ardent enthusiast or skilled snapper alike and, yes, Live View is a real benefit
