Title: REVIEW-OLYMPUS E-510 DSLR

Pros: 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 consistency

Cons: Auto white balance is not reliable in some situations, such as late afternoon light. The viewfinder is really dim, and we are not convinced that removing camera status indicators from the body top is a good move. No doubt it saves money, and the LCD infor

Verdict: This is a camera we would recommend to anyone who wants the image quality of a good SLR without having to think too much. It's light weight will also appeal. And now that Panasonic/Leica is in the Four Thirds camp there should be some cheaper third party

Summary: This digital single lens reflex is built around the Four Thirds system of sensor (10 megapixels) and lens, pioneered by Olympus. The camera has "live view", meaning that the LCD screen can be selected as the viewfinder - and the implementation on the E-51

Title: Olympus EVOLT E-510 Digital Camera - Full Review - The Imaging Resource!

Summary: As with the E-410 model it is announced alongside, the Olympus EVOLT E-510 offers rather more "traditional" styling than some of the past EVOLT line, but the two don't share identical bodies. Instead, the E-510 is a few millimeters wider and offers a sign

Title: Canon EOS 30D

Pros: Physically smaller body and lenses, sturdy build, responsive, good handling of noise at higher ISO settings, crisp, colourful results on vivid setting

Cons: Auto white balance is hit and miss, pixel fringing in high contrast scenes

Verdict: It's worth keeping an eye on white balance, as occasional daylight shots were rendered with a blue colour cast, and there is some pixel fringing between areas of high contrast. The variable white balance problem affected both our portrait and low light sh

Summary: The 10 megapixel E-510 from Olympus is part of the Four Thirds camera system, built ground up as digital-only. The result is smaller bodies and lenses than conventional 35mm-based DSLRs

Title: Olympus Evolt E-510 (4 mice)

Pros: Excellent image quality; extensive feature set, including exposure, flash, and color balance bracketing; Live View mode lets you view images on the LCD screen instead of in the viewfinder; light and comfortable to carry.

Cons: Accessing advanced functions can be confusing; no manual focusing switch on lens.

Verdict: One of the first things I noticed when picking up the camera with the standard 14-42mm zoom lens was how light it was: the camera and lens together weigh less than two pounds. The E-510 doesn't feel flimsy, however. The body is well-built, and the grip fe
