I **LIKE** my new camera!
, May. 21, 2008
Comments:
This camera will be used for both personal and professional use indoors and out - for the price it has all the features I am looking for, and a substantially more affordable price (as compared to similarly equipped Nikon (D80) or Pentax (K20D) DSLRs which I considered prior to purchasing this one). Two options for storage of media (CF I/II or xD cards), available battery holder for CR123 batteries; good battery life; When in low-light conditions (i.e. outside on a dark night), the on camera flash is not quite up to the task for more than 10 feet (which is not as good as my 35mm SLR that this replaced)... when an add-on TTL flash is used, the results are spectacular.

QuickTake:
Pros: Photos are crisp, Live View, very similar to my 35mm Nikon that it replaced.
Cons: Without an add-on flash, the autofocus did not work as expected in low-light conditions.

Review: Olympus E-510 DSLR with 14-42mm Zuiko lens
Comments:
This is a camera we would recommend to anyone who wants the image quality of a good SLR without having to think too much.

Olympus E-510 | Our Review | TechRadar UK
Comments:
It may have a plastic mount but the 14-42mm kit lens is a star performer. It's sharp, contrasty and commendably low on chromatic aberration
Review Verdict: The SuperSonic Wave Filter shakedown dislodges any dust that might have settled on the sensor and it's probably the most effective mechanical sensor-cleaning method offered by any camera manufacturer

QuickTake:
Pros: Higher resolution than the 30D, 1/8000sec max shutter speed, Live View mode and custom settings option, Great features for the money, Good all-round performance
Cons: Resolution the same as the entry-level 400D, Still not full frame, Some menu idiosyncrasies, Needs two selection dials, Mode dial and card door could be better made

Olympus EVOLT E-510 Training Video Review
Comments:
One of my cameras is the Olympus E-510, in some countries also known as the EVOLT E-510. It's a very capable DSLR with some unique features. We have written about one of its predecessors, the E-300 more than two years ago and I've always been enamoure
Review Verdict: For a professional photographer it's not all that hard to find your way around a new DSLR. Functionality is pretty much fairly standard on cameras when you talk about the various shooting modes, priority modes, wide balance modes and so forth.

This is my first SLR camera. I read many review about which cameras would be best for beginners and still be a great camera. I am really enjoying getting to learn all the features. I have bought a higher zoom disc which works great for shooting sporting events.
