Olympus Evolt E 510 - Excellent DSLR

Strengths: CCD Image Stabilization, Four-Thirds system, Price, Compactness, Live View, Proven dust cleaning system, Excellent dual lens kit.

Weakness: Need to tweak settings (a very few) to get optimal picture right out of box.

I'm new to SLR cameras. Olympus Evolt E510 is my first DSLR, after a few P&S Panasonic cameras. After doing comparative study and analyzing reviews between Olympus E510 and Nikon (D40X), Canon (XTi) I finalized on E510. I am so used to Image stabilization as my both Panny P&S cameras have it and wanted to get one with same feature. E510 has it and best part is it is CCD Shift Image Stabilization...

A great first Digital SLR

Strengths: A Solid grip and body, The two lens kit will cover most anything a beginner can throw at them, Takes both XD and Compact flash/Micro drive cards, a manuals for each language, and long battery life.

Weakness: Expensive to buy additional lenses (another good reason to get this 2 lens kit).

I have owned a few digital cameras and a few SLR's and wanted the best of both. I enjoy the ease of picking which pictures I like and deleting the ones I do not, without paying an arm and a leg for developing bad pictures, but I like the control of an SLR and ability to change lenses as needed. A digital SLR has been on my list for quite some time and after much research I felt it was time. I...

it is good camera except one big problem

Strengths: IS is working great. excellent price

Weakness: auto focus doesn't work in extreme low light or no contrast condition

camera refuse to fire in extreme low light or no contrast condition like blue sky without clouds. in this condition you have to switch to MF. it is strange problem, only happened in Olympus E class. I thought probably it is lens problem ( lens come with camera, they are cheap lens). I don't have expense lens for this camera. so I have not tried different lens yet. if anyone tried different...

Excellent Camera, Easy to Use

Strengths: Image Stabilization, Variety of Automatic and Manual Settings

Weakness: None yet.

This is my first SLR. I had a Nikon Coolpix that took great shots, but 90% were blurred. Guess I can't hold still enough. The image stabilization settings are great! Not one blurry pic yet. Awesome ability to change the settings in any possible combination. There are many, many settings though which can be a bit overwhelming for us newbies. I strongly recommend the "Jumpstart" DVD Video for the...

Olympus finally hits a home run!

Strengths: Image stabilization, Live View, Auto focus speed, excellent quality kit lenses, Olympus color for which they are famous for producing

Weakness: Out of the box settings could have been better and will throw new comers to DSLR, Live View is different than point and shoot and will again take some getting used to by new comers

If you are already part of the olympus faithful, you already know about this camera and are doing back flips. If you are new to DSLR or thinking of moving from a Point and Shoot (P&S) to DSLR, then this camera requires serious consideration. While pricegrabber has this camera listed for $950 as of this writting it can be had for $900 with two lenses making it a steal. There is very little at this...

E-510 = Top Value

Strengths: 10MP, Live View, IS, very comfortable grip,kit lenses are very highly-rated, lenses are engineered for digital and are extremely compact and light, uses Compact Flash AND Olympus xD memory cards

Weakness: Very slow to focus in low light situations

At this price range (around $800 for the 2-lens kit) you have basically three choices: Canon XTi, Nikon D40X, and this one, Olympus E-510. You simply cannot go wrong with any of these cameras. I've listed the reasons above in Strengths why I decided to go with Olympus. To elaborate further on these points: - the E-510 is the only one of these that offers Live View. Although as a DSLR photographer...

I love it!!!

Strengths: Everything! IS, Live View, more than 20 different auto settings. 10 megapixels!! Good battery life.

Weakness: Viewer is kinda small. If you are new to DSLR (like me) it will take some time to truly use this camera to its full capabilities.

My wife and I were going to get the E-Volt 500, but after some research we decided to go with the 510. The IS system is great, Olympus knocked one out of the park making IS and Live View available on the same camera. We took the camera on vacation with us and had a blast! We went through Rocky Nat Park, Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, and Glacier. We even went to a Rockies baseball game. The camera...

Best entry-level DSLR out there right now

Strengths: I.S., live view, compact (especially with the kit lenses), dust cleaner that is proven to work, very good image quality (even with the kit lenses), comfortable to work with

Weakness: Menus are confusing, no dual control dials, small viewfinder, pop-up flash cannot be used as fill flash with external unit, clips highlights a little more than expected

I bought this camera as a replacement for an E-1 that I dunked in a river. I bought the kit lenses as well because it seemed silly not to, given how little they cost when bundled with the camera. I will start by saying that I did not expect the camera to measure up to my old E-1 in several respects (build quality, customization, advanced functions, no top LCD panel), the latter being a...

Best value for your money... and plenty more.

Strengths: Supersonic Wave Filter, Live View, Mechanical Image Stabilization, viewfinder, kit lenses

Weakness: Higher noise levels than competition, tripod mount position (aligned, but set a little too much to the rear), dynamic range

The feature set of the E-510 is simply amazing. This tiny 10MP camera is one of the smallest and lightest DSLRs available, thanks to the Four-Thirds System, yet it's just as versatile as its big-name counterparts. # Like its predecessors, the E-510 features a Supersonic Wave Filter (SSWF) to shake off any dust that may enter the sensor chamber. This thin, transparent filter is positioned in front...

One of the best

Strengths: The camera just has to many to list! The Camera is just one of the best that I have used in the last 3 years.

Weakness: The only weakness that I can think of is it is almost to small. If they had made it any smaller then I would not have bought it or used it. But it works fine

I am disabled and had given up, my kids bought me a dslr for me to use to try to get me out and about. They bought me a Cannon and I was hooked. I found that I could not hardly wait till the next morning to get up and start shooting. Well after using 3 types of dslr's from other Company's I bought the EVOLT E-510, And after using a pro level camera and going to this one I could not understand how...

Olympus Evolt E-510 (with 14-42mm and 40-150mm lenses)

THE GOOD: Sensor-shift image stabilization; Live View mode (LCD preview) operation. THE BAD: Sluggish autofocus; Subpar exposure and white-balance performance; some poor choices for default settings. THE BOTTOM LINE: The Olympus Evolt 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.

Olympus EVOLT E-510

With just the right combination of features and a mature set of lenses, the Olympus E-510 gives the Four-Thirds system a strong contender in the ongoing battle of the digital SLRs. No longer trying to forge new body shapes, Olympus has crafted the E-510 to fit the hand well and lead the pack with innovative features. While matching the competition's standard specs of a 10 megapixel sensor, 2.5...

Olympus E-510 Review

The E-510 is the second DSLR camera introduced by Olympus in 2007. Aimed at the keen enthusiast, the Olympus E-510 is bigger, more expensive and offers a few more features than the E-410 model. Principally the E510 has a built-in image stabilizer in the camera body, bigger hand-grip and is a physically larger camera. We loved the E-410 when we reviewed it a couple of weeks ago, so can the E-510...

DCRP Review: Olympus EVOLT E-510

I like the Olympus EVOLT E-510 -- much more so than the E-410. That's not just because I like the larger grip, either. I like the optical image stabilization (on every lens), improved battery life, and the extra features (mostly custom settings) that were not found on the E-410. I do think Olympus should've shipped the camera with different image quality defaults and offered an AC adapter, but...

Camera Labs - Olympus EVOLT E-510 review

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...
