The first shot in the series may be of interest to many.  Night shot at 
1/4 second and ISO 640.  Load the full size image to check the noise in 
the shadows.  I didn't load all of the images but didn't spot any 
thumbnail that looked like it might have been taken at higher ISO.  Most 
appear to have been take at ISO 100-200

Many of you will also be disappointed with this statment:

It's not often we post a gallery without a review, but the Olympus E-400 
is in the unique position of not being available in North America (the 
location of the largest proportion of our readers). Because of this we 
have chosen not to review it but have instead had an opportunity to use 
the camera in Japan and have prepared a 46 image gallery for those of 
you in Europe and Asia who may be interested in this model.

Phil: I found the E-400 to be a very nice, capable DSLR in use. It 
focuses quickly and has a short viewfinder blackout which combine to 
give a responsive feel. The body is light and well designed and despite 
the lack of a full hand grip is still comfortable to use. Image quality 
was a mixed bag, clean if lacking that crisp bite we look for at lower 
sensitivities, noisier at higher sensitivities. Overall the E-400 was a 
perfect 'carry around' vacation-type camera and we hope it (or something 
similarly) will one day be available in North America.
