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 consis...

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...

Abstract: While many digital SLRs priced under $1,500 have severely limited features, Olympus's Evolt E-510 bucks the trend. Priced at $1,485 with a standard lens (as of February 15, 2007), this 10.2-megapixel camera is designed for photo enthusiasts who have a bas...
Abstract: A great fit for anyone looking to enter the dSLR worldI knew that testing the Evolt E-510 from Olympus would be an interesting experience, even if the main reason was because it would be in Morocco. The North African locale seemed like the perfect pla...

Sensor-shift image stabilization; 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.
Very matured image processing after some adjustments; excellent high-ISO performance; good ergonomics and handling; loads of user-adjustable settings; excellent kit lens.
Matrix metering still a little unpredictable; low dynamic range; small viewfinder.
It may not be as petite or as pretty as the E-410, but the E-510s few additional features do make it a better camera.However, I wouldve preferred it if Olympus improved a few other things to set it apart from the E-410. I was hoping for at least a bi...
Abstract: Al contrario que con la E-400, hemos tenido que esperar un tiempo para la sucesora de la E-500. Esto no es tan malo en si mismo, ya que la Olympus E-500 es una buena cámara. Olympus se las ha arreglado para combinar las ventajas de la E-500 y las de l...
Abstract: Digitale Spiegelreflex-Kameras machen normalerweise nicht nur bessere Fotos als Kompaktmodelle – sie sind auch viel schneller. Mit der E-510 von Olympus hat AUDIO VIDEO FOTO BILD ein aktuelles Modell für Hobbyfotografen mit hohen Ansprüchen im Test....
Abstract: Die übrige Ausstattung kann sich sehen lassen. Der integrierte Bildstabilisator funktioniert mit allen Objektiven, der Olympus-Ultraschall-Staubschutz ist das derzeit wohl effektivste System seiner Art auf dem Markt. In puncto Bildqualität könnte das R...
Abstract: Im Gegensatz zur E-400, hat es etwas gedauert, bis die E-500 eine Nachfolgerin bekommen hat. Das ist auch nicht weiter tragisch, weil die Olympus E-500 eine tolle Kamera ist. Bei der Olympus E-510 hat Olympus die Neuerungen der E-410 mit den Vorteilen...
Abstract: Die Alternative zum Marktführer Canon EOS 400D: Beide sind gleich gut, die Olympus bietet deutlich mehr Ausstattung, der Canon-Bestseller die etwas bessere Bildqualität.
Abstract: Mit der E-510 bringt Olympus mal wieder eine Kamera mit Live View auf den Markt. Das bedeutet, dass sich das 2,5-Zoll-Display auch als Sucher einsetzen lässt. Außerdem gibt's CCD-Shift. Bildqualität: Die Olympus E-510 produzierte den höchsten Wirkung...
