Product Description
Designed to give photographers better image quality, the E-510 from Olympus takes over the role of the E-500 and provides you with superior quality performances, notably thanks to its large sensor and double image stabilisation system. Elected "Best Consumer Camera" by the EISA (European Imaging and Sound Association) for 2007-2008, the E-510 delivers images that are rich in colour and detail, thanks to its 10-megapixel Live MOS sensor. Meanwhile, its TruePic III image processor impressively processes sound and makes sure that images are extremely realistic with their colours, definition and contrast. With its large 2.5? HyperCrystal screen and Live View function, you can frame your photos directly on its screen without needing to use the viewfinder, and following the example of its predecessor, the E-510 comes with a supersonic wave filter (SSWF) to solve the problem of dust, a weakness for which traditional interchangeable lens reflex cameras are known for. From the point of view of user friendliness, the E-510 retains the same compact format and is very easy to handle, offering numerous predefined scene modes that are adapted to most situations. At the same time, its manual controls give you the possibility of adding your own personal style. The E-510 is also compatible with different memory card formats, making it even more enjoyable to use, and is supplied with 2 lenses; the 14-42 mm 1:3.5-5.6 lens offers a 3x optical zoom and is designed to meet your needs in most photo situations, while the 40-150mm 1:4.0-5.6 lens is more specifically designed for sports or portrait photographers and comes with a 3.8x optical zoom. Suitable for use by both beginners and professionals, the E-510 successfully combines all the know-how of Olympus and yet again confirms the manufacturer?s commitment to the search for a 100% perfect camera.

5 out of 5 stars nothing to touch it at the price   February 4, 2008

as a previous owner of the E500 i was waiting for the next version to come out, minus all the little niggles such as the control buttons on the rear body which had too soft an action and frequently engaged in the middle of a shot while holding the camera, with the auto focus and write speed lagging behind in real time use, and the flash resetting itself randomly, etc. I was hopeful that the boffins at Olympus would realise their shortcomings and do the job properly this time. THEY HAVE!!! Everything is now quicker,and better positioned and balanced, with another 2 megapixels on top bringing it up to 10 rather than 8.
This baby does exactly what the previous version didn't and has new buttons with a stiffer action and slightly offset layout away from your thumbs resting position, as well as live view so you can see what you are pointing at on the lcd screen from a distance and within limits at an angle, at last.
The Leica designed ED lenses are also much smaller and sharper, a bit clunky in action, but a lot better balanced,the new version 40-150 is half the size of the bazooka it was previously. All in all a vast improvement, as one reviewer on the net said, 'this is the camera you wish Olympus had made before', well this time they have, an excellent bit of kit buy it!



5 out of 5 stars Excellent little camera   March 27, 2008

Having been a Canon user for sometime now ie 350 & 400D, I decided to give a 4/3 camera a try.

So after reading loads of reviews the Olympus E-510 is the one i went for and ive not been dissapointed one little bit.

To start off with it has tons of features like live view, built in body IS, anti dust system ect plus you can use either XD or compact flash or both together, also a biggy for me is spot metering 3 different types to boot aswell, eh Canon only just finally decided to add this to it's overpriced 450D.

Another good thing with this camera is the supplied 14-42mm & 40-150mm both very well built & very very good optics considering they kit lenses, & the pictures this camera can produce are nothing short of excellent ISO noise control is also very good.

Another plus with 4/3 cameras is it 2x so if you invest in say a 300mm lens it becomes 600mm very handy.

Now onto the viewfinder loads of reviews said the viewfinder was small but to be honest it's not that small similar to the 400D just more square.

All in all you get alot of features for your money with the E-510 for a very good price & if your condsidering getting your first DSLR I would easily recommend the Olympus E-510.

There was no competition between the Olympus E510, Canon EOS series and the Nikon D80x... the Olympus E510 won hands down. A beautiful camera with great functions such as Image Stabilisation, a Dust reduction system (SSWF- Super-Sonic Wave Filter) and Live View, it has everything the amateur and professional photographer could want. Having previously used only digital cameras I have found it fairly straight forward to configure. It is quite lightweight (for an DSLR) and the image quality is vividly breathtaking. I would recommend getting the double lens kit to start with rather than the single lens 14-42mm to take full advantage of this cameras capabilities. The Canon EOS series and Nikon's are seriously lagging behind the E-510 and for the additional 'must have' features it is worth the extra pounds.

This is a brilliant camera. I've had it for a couple of months now and taken photos in a variety of different weather and light conditions. I have yet to have a bad shot nor problems with the equipment. I shopped around quite a bit and finally decided on the Olympus over a comparable Nikon. I'm delighted that I did - I couldn't be happier.

Easy to use, simple to learn, great to handle, solidly built, and the kit lenses are stunning. Like many other reviewers, I did a load of research and camera-shop visits prior to buying: the main contenders within my budget were the Sony A100 or A200, Nikon DX40, and Canon Eos rebel XTI; none of them could hold a candle to this lovely camera. In buying it, I've up-graded from my faithful Kodak DX6490 and have not regretted doing so one little bit. If you buy this camera, I'm sure that you won't either.
