Olympus E-410 Has Underwater Casing Options
Perhaps you know that the Olympus E-510 is probably the best under $1000 DSLR (digital single-lens reflex) in its class. However, there is also the Olympus E-410 which is smaller, lighter & with underwater casing options for the body, lens, & external flash called the PT-E03 Under Water Case. The E-410 is just more than $100 cheaper than the E-510 with almost identical features, sensors & etc. However, the major & considered crucial difference to some people including myself is the Image Stabilizing feature.
I know, some of you may argue that the fancy Image Stabilizing feature is “expandable”. Well, not so. Only DSLR cameras from Sony, Pentax & Olympus has the Image Stabilizing feature. In other cases, without the Image Stabilizing feature, photographers have no choice but to purchase significantly more expensive lens with the Image Stabilizing feature for better quality photos.
Now, why would you want to do the same when you can save money & shoot similar high quality pictures with DSLR cameras that already have the Image Stabilizing feature in the first place? Could the Olympus E-410 have the Image Stabilizing feature then it would be the perfect DSLR camera for me. Hopefully, Olympus is making underwater casing options for the Olympus E-510 so that it can be the perfect DSLR camera under $1000.
