by Sze | Filed under Camera and Camcorder
CameraLab gives us a review on the Olympus E-510 digital SLR camera. The Olympus EVOLT E-510 features a 10 Megapixel Live MOS image sensor. With the Live MOS sensor, you can live preview the image with the 2.5-inch LCD display. The integrated image stabilizer allows you take better image even when the environment is dark.
Olympus EVOLT E-510 supports CompactFlash Type I/II, Microdrive, and xD-Picture Card.

Verdict:
TweetThe Olympus E-510 is arguably the most feature-packed DSLR in its class, ticking almost every box on the wish-lists of new DSLR buyers. You get 10 Megapixels in a relatively light and compact form factor, the option of one or two decent kit lenses, and the triple whammy of built-in anti-shake, anti-dust and Live View capabilities, not to mention easy access to a wide variety of settings. It’s certainly a compelling package, especially for the asking price.
Good points
- Built-in Anti-Shake works with any lens.
- Very effective anti-dust system.
- Unique Live View facility.
- Easy access to settings.
Bad points
- Smaller viewfinder than rivals.
- Can’t see stabilization in optical viewfinder.
- Some may not like motorized manual focus.
- Screen doesn’t flip-out.

- Build quality:16 / 20
- Image quality:18 / 20
- Handling:16 / 20
- Specification:20 / 20
- Value:19 / 20
- Overall:89%

The live MOS feature is really good because you get to see the image before taking it. A lot of people struggle with taking photos at night or in dark places so the integrated image stabilizer does that . When does this one come out? can’t wait!
