Olympus EVOLT E-510 DSLR

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.
CameraLab says:

Verdict:

The 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.

Scores

  • 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!
