Does anyone know where to find an Olympus E-400? I did an e-bay search but it came up empty. I am interested in this model because it has a Kodak CCD sensor.

If you are really after the Kodak CCD sensor that was a part of the Olympus digital SLR's, your best bet might be the e500. The colors are simply amazing and the pictures were very sharp (low AA filter perhaps).

Plus these can be had at quite a reasonable proce. I recently sold mine for $200 - about the price of a P&S.

My understanding is that the E-400 was the last of the Olympus to carry the Kodak sensor.

Yes, but it's also the rarest since it was only sold in small numbers in Europe and Japan. And the processing chain is identical to the E-500's.

So does this mean the image quality is identical to the 400?

Yes, the E-400 was just a more compact version of the E-500.
