Ten megapixel digital SLR for beginners, with built-in image stabilisation

Review Verdict: Literally the bigger brother of the current E-410 DSLR, the E-510's chief advantage is that any lens attached becomes immediately stabilised. The lack of this feature wasn't a noticeable omission on the E-410, so whether you spend that extra £100 la...

While many low-cost digital SLRs are compromised in terms of features, Olympus is bucking the trend with its Olympus Evolt E-510.

Comments:
If you worry that you'll outgrow the functionality of other entry-level DSLRs -- and you don't want to spend a bundle to get the features -- the E-510 is a very good choice.

Review Verdict: One of the first things I noticed when picking up the camera with the standard 14-42mm zoom lens was how light it was: the camera and lens together weigh less than two pounds. The E-510 doesn't feel flimsy, however. The body is well-built, and the grip fe

Olympus EVOLT E-510

Comments:
The Olympus E-510 is an entry-level digital SLR that is the "big brother" to the E-410 which I recently reviewed. For an additional $100, the E-510 offers all of the things that made the E-410 impressive (and, in some cases, not impressive) and throws in

Review Verdict: Those two kit lenses were introduced alongside the E-410 and E-510. They're not as fancy as some of Olympus' other lenses (they're not weather sealed) but they're more than adequate for most people. You can, of course, use any of the other FourThirds lens

Olympus E-510

Comments:
The E-510 is the most complete general public reflex: stabilization, anti-dust, LCD aiming, and 10 MP. With excellent ergonomics and very good image quality, this camera rivals and sometimes surpasses the current leaders, the Canon 400D and Nikon D40x.

Comments:
The Olympus E-510 is a compact DSLR camera featuring Live Preview, which allows you to frame your shot using either the optical viewfinder or the 2.5 inch LCD screen. The E-510 boasts a built-in image stabilizer in the camera body which will help to count

Review Verdict: So, the question is, is the Olympus E-510 worth the extra money over the E-410, which offers many of the same features including an identical 10 megapixel resolution? In terms of ergonomics, the E-510 feels slightly more comfortable to handle due to that

This digital single lens reflex is built around the Four Thirds system of sensor (10 megapixels) and lens, pioneered by Olympus. The camera has "live view", meaning that the LCD screen can be selected as the viewfinder - and the implementation on the E-51

Review Verdict: This is a camera we would recommend to anyone who wants the image quality of a good SLR without having to think too much. It's light weight will also appeal. And now that Panasonic/Leica is in the Four Thirds camp there should be some cheaper third party

Read full review at dpexpert.com.au

QuickTake:

Pros: The image quality is excellent. Pictures are sharp and detailed which is probably partly due to the sensor being smaller than on other DSLRs, because a smaller sensor tends to give greater depth of field at any given focal length. We liked the consistency
Cons: Auto white balance is not reliable in some situations, such as late afternoon light. The viewfinder is really dim, and we are not convinced that removing camera status indicators from the body top is a good move. No doubt it saves money, and the LCD infor
