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
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 stabilisation in optical viewfinder.
Some may not like motorised manual focus.
Screen doesn’t flip-out.

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!
