Olympus Evolt E-510 (with 14-42mm f3.5/5.6 lens) price range: $569.99

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.
As compact cameras continue to evolve into commodity items, camera makers have shifted the way they approach their entry-level dSLRs. In Olympus' case, the Evolt E-410 and E-510 include LiveView LCD preview mode to mimic the way you frame a shot with a compact camera and scene presets in case you're not comfortable enough to set exposure using the program, aperture- and shutter-priority, and manual shooting modes that are the norm among SLR shooters. Of course, those modes are still available in the E-510, and can give you the same level of exposure control you find in other SLRs.
Olympus thinks of the E-510 as a small step above the E-410 and thinks that it should appeal to SLR newbies (or possibly former film SLR owners) that want more of a traditional SLR design than its smaller sibling. While the 410 has an extremely compact body design with almost no grip so it can fit into a pocket if you take the lens off, the 510 has a more prominent grip, making for a slightly larger body. Not only that, the 510 also includes mechanical, sensor-shift image stabilization, which the 410 lacks.
Like most newer entry-level SLRs, the E-510 doesn't include a separate status LCD. Instead, you can access info, such as shutter speed, aperture, and ISO, on the camera's main LCD screen. While I normally prefer a status LCD to this method, I do like the way Olympus built its status screen, since you can quickly navigate through the screen to change any of the settings included in that view. Of course, there are also hard buttons for commonly changed settings, such as ISO, white balance, and AF mode, in case you want to bypass the status screen, which you access by pressing the OK button in the middle of the five-way touchpad. The layout of buttons on the 510 is very nice, making it a comfortable camera to use, though like most entry-level SLRs, its body is a tad short, and my pinky finger dangles from the bottom of the grip when I hold it.
As Live View modes in SLRs go, the 510's version is pretty nice, but it's still clunkier than shooting with a real compact camera or using the 510's optical viewfinder. Since the 510 has to get its mirror out of the way before you can use Live View, then needs to lower it to autofocus and raise it again before you can shoot, this mode is slow and noisy. Also, if you do want the camera to autofocus while in Live View mode, you have to hold the AEL/AFL button to activate it, which also slows down the shooting experience. However, if you want to focus manually, you can zoom in on your subject to help you focus. You can also select the area that you want to zoom in on or use for autofocus; a small green box appears if you cycle through display modes (with the INFO button) and you can move it around the frame with the direction buttons in the 5-way touchpad.
Since the E-510's 10-megapixel LiveMOS sensor adheres to the Four Thirds format, the camera has a 2x focal length multiplier. That means that you have to multiply the focal lengths of the two available kit lenses by two to come up with the effective field of view that you'll get with the lenses. For example, the 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 lens that comes with the single and double lens kits becomes more akin to a 28-84mm lens. Meanwhile the 40-150mm f/4-5.6 lens that comes with the double lens kit ends up more like an 80-300mm lens. That's a nice range of focal lengths, especially in an entry-level SLR kit, but if you want to go wide with a Four Thirds camera, you should be prepared to shell out some serious cash. Olympus does offer a rectilinear (aka nonfisheye) 7-14mm f/4, which I was able to use to shoot Arthur Ashe stadium when Olympus invited me to the U.S. Open this year (see my slide show for the shot), but it'll cost you almost as much as three E-510 bodies to buy that lens. The company's 11-22mm f/2.8-3.5 costs less than half the 7-14mm's price, but if you want to get wider than a 20mm-equivalent without resorting to a fisheye lens, you'll likely have to pawn your arm and leg.
Despite its being targeted toward entry-level users, the E-510 does have some nice customization features. For example, you can program the Fn (function) button to control a number of different functions. Its default setting is for depth of field, but it can also be turned off completely or set to set the custom white balance, let you shoot a test picture (without saving it to your memory card), or set the camera to My Mode, which can save all the current camera settings as your own custom shooting mode. If the function button is set to My Mode, and you have saved settings for that mode, you can set the camera to all those settings by pressing that one Fn button. The AEL/AFL button can also be configured to control autoexposure and autofocus locks in various different combinations. In addition to custom white balance and the camera's white balance presets, you can also choose a Kelvin temperature from 2,000K to 14,000K.
Outside of Live View mode, the Evolt E-510 performed well in our lab tests. The camera took 1.3 seconds to start and capture its first JPEG. Subsequent JPEGs took about 0.6 second between shots with the flash turned off and 0.9 second with the flash turned on. It took about 0.8 second between RAW images with the flash turned off. Shutter lag measured 0.4 second in our high-contrast test and 1.3 seconds in our low-contrast test, which mimic bright and dim shooting conditions, respectively. In our continuous shooting test, the E-510 lived up to Olympus' claim of 3 frames per second. We were able to capture 3.1fps at the camera's smallest JPEG setting, and 2.9fps at full resolution.
While you can achieve very nice image quality with the Evolt E-510, out of the box I saw the same issues with the E-510 that Lori Grunin saw with the Evolt E-410. In its default settings, and with Firmware version 1.0, the E-510 underexposes and overblurs photos. Switching the Noise Filter to Low or Off will fix the blurring problem, and using a shooting mode other than Program can help overcome the exposure issues. Also, when faced with incandescent lighting, the E-510's automatic white balance tends to produce overly warm images, you're better off with the camera's tungsten preset in this situation, or better yet a custom white balance. This is somewhat strange, given that Olympus' significantly less expensive FE series cameras usually do an excellent job of automatically setting white balance.
To its credit, the E-510 does a good job of keeping noise under control across its sensitivity range. While noise becomes noticeable at ISO 800 and is clearly apparent at the top setting of ISO 1,600, you should still be able to get acceptable prints throughout the camera's sensitivity range. I just wish that the camera went beyond ISO 1,600. Even an entry-level SLR should reach at least ISO 3,200 at this point.
While the exposure quirks mentioned above might sound bad, you really can create very good photos with the Evolt E-510, though it can be a bit frustrating when compared to competitors, such as Canon's EOS Rebel XTi or Nikon's D40x. However, if you like the idea of this Evolt's Live View mode or built-in Image Stabilization (something neither of the aforementioned competitors have), then you should give the E-510 a look.

Summary: This is probably the best bang for buck you could get out there. A 10MP sensor, an in camera IS system, live view, and a self cleaning sensor, all for about 550 USD (at least at circuit city). I came in here and saw the low rating. This camera doesn't deserve a 7.1 This is at least a 9 in my books. Sure, there aren't as many lenses out there for the 4/3'rds system, but the Zuiko lens lineup is powerful, clear, crisp, sharp, and much lower in cost.
If you're thinking about a Nikon D60, a Canon XTi, or XS, stop and take a stroll down the path less traveled. -

Summary: I bought this camera and ordered an additional 70-300 mm lens for a trip to Alaska. It served me well when used with rain, snow, slush and on a boat.
Camera has a good feel to it and very convenient. Changing the lens is a breeze and with a good camera bag was able to quickly flip between the 14-40 mm (for panorama and potraits of the kids) vs 70-300mm for telephoto.
Documentation is bad. It takes a lot of reading and practice to figure out some of the items.
Unable to figure between the auto vs scene options.
But what bothered me is that I was still unable to get good pictures of potrait+landscape when the background was bright (snow or sea). I figured out the Nikon S600 easiar (of course) and got good pictures in such situations. -

A wide-open photographic toolbox

Pros: Small, comfortable, versatile, crisp lenses, good value

Summary: I've had my E-510 for a couple of weeks. I've taken scores of photos with the 2 kit lenses under various conditions ranging from firelight to noon sky. So far, I've found the E-510 to be very comfortable to hold and wear. I had it around my neck for a two hour hike and it never felt like it was a burden. Photos have been crisp, clear and rich. I agree with many of the reviews that at ISO 800 to 1600 images can be noisy, but so what? Also, the white balance isn't out-of-the box perfect, but so what? The camera is designed to be adaptable from point-and-shoot to fully personalized. I'll be exploring this camera and growing my skills for a long time.
There seems to be a lot of excessive criticism regarding the unique characteristics of the button layout, menus and other interface components. I agree that 18 or so buttons can be overwhelming and yes, the menus are busy and not instantly intuitive, but this is a device with many many configurations. If a user isn't prepared to use these features or doesn't want to use them, why waste the money? Buy a nice friendly Canon P&S (I have 2 that I enjoy), a fancy dinner for two with expensive wine and praise yourself for buying a camera you will actually use!
The bottom line is that with the current variety of high-quality 10 megapixel cameras, Olympus is offering something different...a different format, a different approach to menus, etc. It's called innovation. I like the way the E-510 feels and the way it takes pictures. I didn't like the features of the equivalent Nikon nor Canon nor Panasonic...these are arbitrary preferences, not objective attributes. Before discounting this camera without trying it, go to a reputable camera store with several brands, ask for their opinion, do more research online (there are myriad web sites devoted to dSLRs) and then decide. Do not judge this fine piece of photographic equipment by anyone who thinks an orange is bad because it's not an apple. -
This is a camera for serious amateurs and pros too!
by celticson50 on February 18, 2008
Pros: The Evolt 510 takes superior photos, great color saturation, the photos are clear and crisp. They are easyily enlarged and they look great!
Cons: The LCD screen does not extend and swivel.
Summary: I have had Nikon, Leica Digilux and this camera is as good, and superior to one of them. I am in love with the camera.

Summary: At first I purchased the Nikon D40x, but was not happy with it, so I spent a bit more for the E-510. Well, it was worth the extra money! This camera delivers awesome pictures! I like the extra rubber grips on the body; it makes holding the camera much more comfortable. There are lots of extra features on this camera that I love. A small example would be the fact that while reviewing the pictures on the lcd screen, you can set the picture information to stay off, so you only see the picture. The Nikon D40x always had some info displayed; you could not turn it off. The only downside of this camera that I have is the af-assist lamp is built in to the flash, and it works as a strobe to bring the subject into focus. This is very annoying to not only me, but the people who I am taking the picture of. You can turn the lamp off, but in low light situation, the camera takes a very long time to focus without the lamp.
Overall, I would buy this camera again in a heartbeat, as it take some beautiful pictures! -
The lens system is NOT 2x, 4/3 means 4:3 !! beware
by JanWx on April 4, 2008

Summary: On paper the 4/3 system looks nice. However the emperor has no clothes. Olympus claims the focal length is 2x what it would be on a film based SLR, but this is untrue! 50mm is standard eye, I purchased a 14-55mm in the assumption I?d have a film equiv of 28 to 110. NOP, 55 mm is 55 mm just over 1x the magnification of the eye. A bit more study reveals that what they probably mean is that the ?Field of view? is that of the 110 mm. So you get a normal 50 mm lens picture that is half the width of your 50mm lens on a normal SLR. In addition the ?four/thirds? has nothing to do with some magic but just with the aspect ratio of the chip. In other words the picture is 3 units by 4 units ? i.e. that of an old television or computer screen. So if you want to print a picture of 6?x 4? you either have to crop the top or have black on the sides (like showing 16:9 on a 4:3 television)
How stupid that all these reviewers are all bleating that this is a fantastic lens system as it supposedly provides 2x the focal length. It doesn?t, so I?ve handed it back to the shop. As a result the E510 image is strangely squat. Why Olympus didn?t choose 16:9 for the chip is beyond me, as that at least would have made sense for the digital age. Don?t be fooled by ?it is digital/it?s good?, it?s very different from film.
So I'm now trading it in for a Nikon D60, but that also has a squat issue though not nearly as pronounced0 out of 2 users found this user opinion helpful.

Avoid This Camera!!

Summary: Let me tell my story and maybe it will help someone out there. I got a camcorder for X-mas from best buy that was broke. I took it back and decided that what I really wanted was a DSLR camera as I am more of a still photo person then video. I went to Cnet before buying a camera as this website has helped me buy and be happy with MANY electronics I own. I wanted a beginners DSLR for around 500-800 price range with good picture quality in low light as I go to comic book conventions all the time and take lots of pics. So with that price range I came up with either cannon rebel xti or sony A100k so then I did more searching the rebel has been out for awhile and had more conflicting reviews then the sony. I have always bought Cannon before but all the stuff I read kept pointing me to the A100k So I decided to buy it. Of course The Best Buy in my town was out of them (small town only 1 Best Buy) So they had to order for me. I agreed and waited for it. The day came and NO item they told me that for no reason given sony had discontinued the camera. I was mad they could have told me this when I ordered it. They trying to make me Happy (for once) changed the order to the Olympus E510 even though here $50 more then the A100k. I wasnt to happy. I kinda already knew thanks to Cnet and a few other sources that this wasnt the camera for me. But My wife was saying to try it that I should get one and test it out and the Best Buy "Camera Expert" was pushing hard saying it is just a matter of playing with the controls. So I caved in and got it. I went straight home and started taking pictures inside my house. I tryed many different lights and brightness and played with the menu setting as much as a beginner could. NOT ONE picture was better then my OLD point and click cannon s30 3.1mp which is a few years old. I was mad I showed my wife the pics and she Immediately said sorry she could not believe how bad the pictures were. I Packed it up and took it back. And after more research I bought the Cannon G9. Yes I know its still considered a point and click camera but the G9 is perfect for people who want to get into DSLRs but still want some easy to use options as a point and click. The G9 lets you shoot in Raw, you can add a telephoto or wide angle lens to the Camera or a high power flash to the hot shoe. I would like to also point out that Olympus lenes and flashes are not only harder to find then cannon, nikon, and sony but also WAY WAY more expensive. The first lens I wanted to get was a telephoto lens but they were so expensive like in the $1000s expensive. So over All I say Avoid this camera Picture quality Bad Expensive Accessories And low light shooting worse then a old 3.1mp camera.
