Initial E-420 and DZ 25mm pancake samples

[Four Thirds User editorial team]

Despite unpalatable British winter weather, Four Thirds User has been out and about with the new Olympus E-420 mated to the new 25mm f/2.8 pancake lens. We have original camera samples for you to download and evaluate, including the RAW files.

More...

There is some in-and-out sunshine today so I will try to get some more shots this afternoon.

There will also be some ISO range samples, compared with the E-410 and E-3, coming up.

It says in the text that only Olympus Studio 2.1.2 and Olympus Master 2.0.5 will read the RAW files.

The camera isn't even on sale yet, so it's not surprising that third party RAW support isn't in place yet.

Fair enough, but I can't even get the jpeg images as the files are not appearing when I click on them

[Ian]

Hmmm... not sure what happened there... it's being fixed as I type this - sorry!

[Julia]

all fixed - I hope

I'm going to expand the gallery as I managed to get some shots illuminated by - guess what - some sunshine today.

OK, there is now another set of sample images taken under much more obliging skies, see:

Thank you very much, these look a lot better. Very nice, except for some CA on the left side of the ferry boat shot.
