Should You Buy This Camera

Four Thirds mount

The Olympus and Panasonic DSLR mount, 2003 to 2010, and the only mount here that died outright. The bodies went to almost nothing; the glass did not. Every lens on this page adapts forward onto any Micro Four Thirds body through an Olympus MMF adapter, and that one fact is why a 50mm f/2 macro from 2003 still costs more than the camera it was built for.

18 bodies and 42 lenses and 2 accessories tracked. Lowest used prices pulled daily from the major used-gear sites.

Kodak CCD bodies (2003-2006)

4 models

Four bodies, all on Kodak CCD sensors, and the group people actually hunt. The color is the reason they still sell, and the E-1's 5MP has not put anyone off. The E-400 was the last one: Olympus swapped to a Panasonic sensor for the E-410 and never went back.

Live MOS bodies (2006-2010)

14 models

Panasonic's Live MOS sensor arrived with the E-330 in 2006 and ran to the end of the mount. More resolution, cleaner high ISO, live view, and none of the CCD reputation. The E-5 in 2010 was the last Four Thirds body Olympus built.
