Canon 400D vs Olympus E-400

Let's look a bit more in depth at the Canon 400D versus Olympus E-400, both Entry-Level DSLR cameras by rivals Canon and Olympus. The resolution of the 400D (10MP) and the E-400 (10MP) is relatively comparable but the 400D (APS-C) and E-400 (Four Thirds) offer totally different sensor measurements.

The 400D was revealed very close to the E-400 so they are of a similar generation. Both of these cameras have the same body design (Compact SLR).

Before getting right into a thorough comparison, here is a short overview of how the 400D matches up vs the E-400 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 400D and Olympus E-400. The full galleries are viewable at Canon 400D Gallery and Olympus E-400 Gallery.

In case you're looking to travel with your camera often, you have to take into account its weight and measurements.

Usually, its tough to envision the difference in sensor dimensions merely by seeing specifications. The image underneath may provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the 400D and E-400.

Plainly, both of the cameras provide the same MP albeit not the same sensor dimensions. The 400D uses the bigger sensor which will make achieving bokeh simpler.
