The image quality is excellent. Pictures are sharp and detailed
Which is probably partly due to the sensor being smaller than on other DSLRs

Auto white balance is unreliable in some situations
Such as late-afternoon light. The viewfinder is dim and we are not convinced that removing camera status indicators from the body top is a good move - no doubt it saves money. The LCD information re...

Slightly soft images
Only three auto focus points The Final Word If features like live view
Image stabilisation and dust reduction appeal to you
Then the Olympus E-510 might be just what youre looking for. While its pictures are a little on the sof...
The E-410 is a hard act for the E-510 to follow, but it's to this camera's credit that it's arguably the better proposition… at least as far as the enthusiast- level photographer is concerned. The little extras make all the difference as, of course, does ...

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

If features like live view, image stabilisation and dust reduction appeal to you, then the Olympus E-510 might be just what youre looking for. While its pictures are a little on the soft side compared to competing models, they are perfectly adequate f...
Sensor-shift image stabilisation, Live View mode (LCD preview) operation
Sluggish autofocus, Subpar exposure and white-balance performance, Some poor choices for default settings
The Olympus E-510 has quirky exposure and white-balance issues, but its Live View and Image Stabilization modes may make some photographers give this SLR a chance. ...
Abstract: 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-510s body is larger and 8...
Abstract: What’s impressive and distinguishes the Olympus EVOLT E-510 10-megapixel digital SLR is that for less than US$800 you get a quality camera that has a feature set on par with more expensive models. It includes Live View, automatic dust remova...

The two weeks with the Evolt was not enough for an in-depth review but enough to realize that Olympus has a winner in the E-300.If they had a lens that covered the 28-200mm range it would absolutely be the camera of choice for my aerial photography wor...
