A friend of mine just called and has a brand new Olympus E420 DSLR with the 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 Zuiko kit lens that she wants to sell. She shoots a Nikon D5000 so has no use for this camera, it is complete in the box and never been used. I don't have it here at my house to take a pic until this weekend but here is a link to the Amazon listing for this camera.
Here is the review from DPReviews, it comes Highly Recommended by them:
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/olympuse420/I would think it would make a great first DSLR or a real nice step-up from any P&S.
I got this camera in my posession today. The owner had opened the box and had everything out to look at it but all is there and not a mark on anything. We charged the battery up and I had a CF card (It also takes XD cards, has 2 seperate slots) so we took it out and fired off a few shots. Outside it did great! Then we took it into a basketball game and the lens is just a bit slow to use indoors without a flash, even at ISO 1600, the action shots were all a bit blurred, didn't try it with a flash during the game. Here are a couple outdoor shots I took with it.
Thank you so much for your response. Because my interest is just beginning to grow I will need to look around before purchasing. I know what kind of photography I want to do; just don't now about the cameras.
Have a good day and the pictures are very nice.

Do you still have this camera for sale? If so, how much are you ask?
