This is my first DSLR and I bought this with much expectation and lot of fear. Although the camera seems to be delivering as promises it lacks support from users as there are very few users out there. And as a begining to professional protography you would need more support. It seems the rivals from Canon and Nikon are the winners in this segment.

Still its not that difficult to master this SLR and you can start shooting pro pictires within no time. The only thing that bothers me though is its lack of good lenses available in market. The only compatible lense its thier own series of zuiko and they...

I have had my 2 lens Olympus E 510 for almost a year and have taken hundreds of pictures.  I like to think that I am a "photographer" rather than a "picture taker" so I almost never have my 510 on "auto" setting.  I purchased my camera after much research.  I also knew what I wanted due to my having several film SLRs as well as 3 digicams.  My 510 allows me to take advantage of all of its attributes without the limitations that my previous digicams had and without the bulk of my old film SLRs.  The 2 kit lenses are tack sharp while being very compact.  The camera has probably the best anti-dust...

I have had previous DSLR cameras and wanted to get into a higher quality version.  The Olympus e-510 is IT!

There are more menus than I can count which made for a steep learning curve, but the photos are worth the time spent learning.  I love this camera.  Perfect fit for my hands. 10MegaPixel, good optical zoom.

The Olympus E-510 is my first DSLR. My uncle is a professional photographer nad has used Olympus products since his film-shooting days and recommended this brand as a good starting out camera. I stepped into this from a Canon point-and-shoot and I am so glad I did.

First of all, this camera is easy to use if you are familiar with DSLR cameras and their lenses. Olympus made this camera user-friendly and all one has to do is spend a day or two reading the manual (warning: it can be very technical) to get a grasp on what this camera can do. The image stabilization that is built into the camera body...

I have owned the Olympus E-510 with the two kit lenses for about a year and a half.  I have taken close to 1000 shots with it. It takes great photos and so-so photos. It really depends on you. Straight out of the box it takes pretty good shots. With a little knowledge and some tweaking it takes great shots. One suggestion read and learn. Read the manual, at least three times. Also google "Wrotniak". He has written a review and has some suggestions for tweaking the setting on the camera for optimal performance. His advice on changing the settings is (imho) excellent and to be heeded. Also,...

After useing my olympus e-500 digital camera i was in love with it. I have taken many many beautiful pictures that i would not have been able to take with any other camera that is out there. My olympus e-500 is a top of the line in the olympus selection. It has so many lens that you can buy to change on the camera body itself. Clear photos on the screen and after you print the photos out. I love it so much, kept talking about how wonderful it is, great photos it takes, and everything that I could talk about it, my dad got the same camera and he loves it. olympus is also durable, I have drop mine...

My olympus E-510 is a great camera,   I have taken more than a 1000 pictures with my 510 and I have have them printed to 16x20 and I have pictures all over my walls. The color is beautiful they are sharp as a tack. The 2 lens kit costs about $750.00.  Its a great deal for anyone just starting in photography.
