Digital SLR photography has grown rapidly over recent years as the price of digital SLRs have tumbled while specifications have increased and many manufacturers now produce smaller SLR cameras which may suit photographers moving up from a digital compact camera to a digital SLR camera. The smallest and lightest digital SLR camera as of early 2008 is the Olympus E410 which weighs in at a light 435 grams including batteries and is much smaller than many bridge cameras with dimensions of only 130 x 91 x 53 mm. Olympus Zuiko four thirds Zoom lenses are also very small and light but for the ultimate in miniaturization, an Olympus E420 DLSR camera body coupled with the tiny Olympus Zuiko 25mm f2.8 pancake lens is hard to beat and ideal for travel photography.
