In case you were worried that digital SLRs would remain priced higher than point-and-shoots, Olympus is breaking down the $500 barrier with its, well, $499.99 E-420.

That’s not the only thing Olympus is excited about though: the 13.4-oz. E-420 is up to 40% lighter than other DSLRs in it class, and is being declared “world’s smallest digital SLR” by its maker. All that while retaining Live View, a 10-megapixel sensor and a 2.7″ LCD. We can’t wait to try it out. Jump for press release and chart of freakishly detailed specs.
