Review Verdict: The Olympus EVOLT E-510 eventually won me over thanks to its overall usability and image quality. Because of my bias for a 3:2 aspect ratio, I often caught myself feeling that the E-510 somehow wasn't "serious enough" as a photographic tool. However, I fo

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 ...

Product Rating: 4 star(s) Olympus E510 digital camera review

Comments:
Unlike the E-400, we had to await the successor of the E-500 for awhile. This is not so bad in itself, because the Olympus E-500 is a fine camera. Olympus has managed to combine the advantages of the E-500 with the E-410 in the new Olympus E-510, which ha

Product Rating: 4.35 star(s) Olympus Evolt E-510 SLR

Comments:
While many digital SLRs priced under $1000 have severely limited features, Olympus's Evolt E-510 bucks the trend. Priced at $900 with a standard lens (as of August 8, 2007), this 10.2-megapixel camera is designed for photo enthusiasts who have a basic com

Review Verdict: Features wouldn't be worth much if the E-510's pictures weren't of high quality, and Olympus didn't disappoint in this respect either. Color fidelity and saturation were very good, and the E-510 handled most shooting conditions easily. At lower ISO ranges

Product Rating: 4.5 star(s) Olympus E510: Review

Comments:
Olympus prove to be a serious force not to be overlooked by the other big boy brands

Review Verdict: The camera has both Compact Flash and xD card slots, although you can't write to both simultaneously. Olympus was first (and arguably still best) with an Anti Dust feature that shakes the sensor clean via the power of the supersonic waves. Very swoosh

Comments:
The E-510 has a barrowful of features and is a joy to use but we miss the size and convenience of the cheaper E-410

Review Verdict: Unlike most other systems, four-thirds been designed entirely for digital from the start. We tested with the two-lens kit, which includes an everyday 14-42mm glass and a nice 40-150mm telephoto. Due to the four-thirds sensor size, that gives an equivalent

Product Rating: 4.5 star(s) Olympus E510

Comments:
Olympus may not make the slimmest or sexiest SLRs on the market, but it does manage to pack a lot of photographic oomph into its beefy shooters. And the new 10-megapixel E-510 is no exception. Heir apparent to the E-500, this SLR retains its predecessor's

QuickTake:

Pros: Sharp, detailed images. Can use viewfinder or LCD to compose shots. Image stabilization works incredibly well, regardless of lens. Ergonomic case is comfortable to grip. Dual CF and xD slots double on-camera storage. Great wide-angle performance from kit
Cons: Two-finger exposure compensation control requires some co-ordination. Default information display is quite crowded.

The Olympus EVOLT E-510 is a digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera designed for photographers who are upgrading from a P&S digicam or an earlier consumer DSLR camera. It was introduced in March 2007 and is the successor to the Olympus EVOLT E-500. The

Review Verdict: All Olympus DSLRs are part of the "Four Thirds" camera system, which is characterized by their use of a 4/3" digital sensor which measures approximately 17.3mm wide by 13mm high. The Four Thirds name comes from the fact that the area of a Four Thirds sens

Comments:
If you're ready to move on from your compact to an SLR but not entirely ready to let go of the compact's framing style, the Olympus E-510 is your answer. Using a Live View LCD preview mode, it helps you gently make the transition. Loads of features will a
