For example the canon 75-300 is ~279.99 without IS with IS it is 799.99. I would not mark down the Olympus line since their stabilization is just as effective. For more info visit this site. I shot with the 420 and the E3 I am quite fond of them and would recommend this camera to anyone looking for a small DSLR which does not way much and still preforms great. http://www.olympus-europa.com/consumer/dslr_16742.htm Stabilization in the body saves you a lot of money instead of paying to have each lens stabilized the body does it instead making each lens able to perform this way.

The G-1 is actually compatible with nearly every single lens out there since its short flange distance makes it possible to add adapters for basically every lens ever made. Au contraire, Markus.

I'm not even sure we can call the G1 an SLR because there is no mirror to reflex. Markus, I will not argue with you on that point.

It's incompatible with nearly every single lens out there and any pro photographer knows it's all about the lens. The Pannie G1 may be a tad smaller but at a huge cost.

Especially as the E-420 is already around for quite some time, and sometimes there are really good deals including the standard 14-42mm lens. Unfortunately, searching the web for other kits or even for the 25mm or 35mm lens themselves was frustrating - they are way more expensive than mentioned in the article! Is there a special source where the lenses can be found for under 200 bucks? Interesting article, definitely.

You know the internet; you will be corrected, even if you were right in the first place. I just wanted to state that the Panasonic G1 is smaller in every dimension and weighs less as well. Of course, the E-420 is a four thirds camera and the G1 is a micro four thirds camera. I see that dpreview posted a review of the G1 today.
