Final Olympus Four Thirds entry DSLR with Art Filters, compact interchangeable lens at minimal used cost.
The Olympus E-450 with 14-42mm is a compact Four Thirds DSLR kit from 2009, the final entry-level E-4xx body with improved Art Filters and live view. The E-450 refined the compact DSLR concept before Olympus shifted focus to the Micro Four Thirds mirrorless system.
The 10-megapixel sensor with Art Filters provides creative in-camera effects, and the live view enables LCD composition. The 14-42mm covers 28-84mm equivalent for everyday photography on the compact Four Thirds body.
Build quality is compact Olympus Four Thirds. The E-450 was the last major Four Thirds DSLR before Olympus committed to mirrorless, and the camera provides functional interchangeable lens photography.
The E-450 kit offers compact Four Thirds DSLR at minimal used cost. The Four Thirds mount is discontinued but lenses work on MFT via adapter, and the camera provides affordable interchangeable lens photography.
