The Olympus E-510
This successor to the E-500 gives photographers a better way to frame their compositions since – unlike most D-SLRs – it boasts Live Preview on its 2.5”/6.4cm HyperCrystal LCD.
The incorporation of Live Preview takes D-SLR photography in a new and exciting direction, ensuring picture sharpness with unprecedented accuracy: The ability to view images on the 2.5”/6.4cm HyperCrystal LCD at magnifications of 6x or 10x in manual focus mode guarantees that pictures always come out sharp. Auto-focusing is as easy as a push of the AEL button. A quick flip up and then down of the mirror allows the AF measurement to be made – and shooting can begin. Furthermore, with superb image processing speeds of 3fps with a seven image RAW buffer in burst mode, there’s no need to worry about missing a great shot.
A wide choice of accessories
The E-510, with a long-life rechargeable battery, is a bona fide E-System D-SLR – meaning that it’s compatible with almost the entire range of E-System accessories. Based on the Four Thirds Standard, this exemplary range features near-telecentric lenses, which are optimised for the specific needs of digital photography in order to provide edge-to-edge colour, sharpness and brightness. Revel in the superiority of this flexible and comprehensive system of lenses, flashes and other accessories.
