Right now, the E-420 has been replaced with E-450. I have the E-420 and it's a great little DSLR -- the noise is a bit much for me though.

i have a E-510 and it does a bit better on noise.
Although it is bigger in comparison.
However, most 4/3rd cameras tend to be smaller than APS cameras.

I took this at ISO 1600 in raw and ran it through neatimage.
There's a bit of saturation loss and a smidgen of detail loss, but that can always be managed via post processing.
I'm satisfied with the noise performance on my camera.
