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...

Things are really looking up for the Four Thirds digital SLR format. It's taken a while, but now the idea behind the standardisation of sensor size and lens mount is starting to be realised with a growing choice of ‘mix and match' camera bodies and lenses...
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...

One dark knight By CHRIS CHONG When Olympus first revealed the E-510 to the public, I doubt many people paid attention to it. Why? Because for about RM400 less, you could get the E-410 instead, which is essentially the same camera (probably the same i...
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...
