Olympus EVOLT E-510 Review

by Bob Atkins

Comments:
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

Olympus E-510 Review

by Laurence Chen

Comments:
Olympus delivers a well-rounded Four Thirds System digital SLR to the sub-$1,000 camera space. The EVOLT E-510, like the Pentax K10D I reviewed early this year, offers a balanced combination of technical features, usability, and customization that works w

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; A 10-Megapixel D-SLR With Live View & Built-In Image Stabilizer

by Peter K. Burian

Comments:
The first Four Thirds format D-SLR with a built-in Image Stabilizer, the EVOLT E-510 is an incredibly versatile camera in many respects. This 10-megapixel model offers several benefits over the previous EVOLT models, including higher resolution, the faste

Review Verdict: Depth of field preview-for evaluating the range of acceptably sharp focus at any f/stop-is also available in Live View when that option is selected in the menu. (The camera's default setting is for conventional depth of field preview.) At small apertures-

Olympus E-510

by WDC Team

Comments:
The 10-megapixel Olympus E-510 replaces the E-500 with improvements to the Live View and dust removal systems.

Review Verdict: In-camera image stabilisation and dust-reduction figure prominently on most enthusiasts- DSLR shopping lists, but all too often we see one without the other, or we get a weak compromise. With the Olympus E-510 we're getting both of these things and, more

Review: Olympus Evolt E-510 Black Digital Camera Kit

by Rick LePage

Comments:
This SLR with a live-preview LCD delivers a wealth of features for the price.

Review Verdict: Together, the camera and its standard 14mm-to-42mm zoom lens weigh less than 2 pounds. Even with the 40mm-to-150mm telephoto zoom lens, you won't feel weighed down. The E-510 doesn't feel flimsy, however. The body is well built, and the grip felt comforta

Olympus E-510

by Margaret Brown

Comments:
The differences between the Olympus E-510 and the E-410 model we reviewed last month are largely physical, but the less obvious, internal differences are highly significant. Targeted at more knowledgeable photographers, the E-510's body is larger and 85 g

Review Verdict: Pictures taken with the test camera looked quite similar to those from the E-410 model we reviewed. Colours were natural looking but contrast was slightly elevated. Exposure positioning was slightly better in the E-510 model we tested, which delivered a b
