the IS of this camera is NOISY!

It's not that bad - I only had the E-510 about 10cm away from the camcorder microphone...

I couldn't find informationen. do you know if leica has lenses for nikon f-Bajonet

I don't believe so, but there may be some adapters which offer basic functionality. The Nikon owners on the Cameralabs forum may be able to offer more help.

Please advise, if I buy an e420, which does not have anti shake in the body, would i be able to buy Leica lenses with the anti shake, and get a good overall result?

Yes, the Leica lenses will work fine on the E410 and presumably the E420, but they are quite big, heavy and expensive...

the reason that the camera shake appears the same with both ON as with both OFF is because the lens is trying to counteract the shake by directing the light to where IT THINKS the sensor is, but the sensor is actually moving to counteract the shake, so the light the lens redirected is no longer hitting it's intended target.

That's right - basically the two systems conflict if they don't know about each other.

Thanks for this video. I received my E-510 yesterday and love it already. How about a review on some Olympus telephoto lens, macro lens and how about a video on the advantages and disadvantages of a fixed focus lens. Thanks again I am favoriting them all.

I do hope to test some more lenses in the future, but in the meantime, there's several Olympus owners on the Cameralabs forums if you want to ask more about lens options...
