Momma always said you couldn’t have your cake and eat it to, and we suppose it’s just about time we stop resisting and just believed. Olympus’ decidedly compact E-450 was recently reviewed over at PhotographyBLOG, and while image quality was satisfactory for a camera of its stature, it was indubitably missing a few key ingredients.
