The camera body fits nicely in the hand due to the large grip, whilst still being very compact. It functions well and there are lots of features that can be personalised, which is not tricky once you get used to the different menus (which does take quite a while). Great camera if you don’t need huge prints. You can pick them up for £70-120 and at this price they’re great value. One poor feature is the memory card door, which flaps open too readily, but a small piece of double sided sticky tape can solve this.

bought this camera as it was an upgrade to the olympus i already have and it has built in (in the body part not the lens)image stabilization so the piccies are spot on now not just good. i already had olympus bits ,lenses etc. these olympuses have 2 card slots in them so this is a bonus which is why ive been with olympus since i went dslr. the e510 i bought was a faulty one , it had a broken lcd inside it , the repair was easy and the lcd was only about £15 so i ended up with a massive bargain. with the olympus company they specialize in medical optics (when you go to hospital there is a 70-80% chance that the endoscopes etc will be made by olympus) so there optics are probably the best there is. name a feature and youll find it is probably on the camera somewhere, all in all ive loved using olympus dslr since i got one and this still makes me love using them.the only downside is there is a lot mare canons and nikons out there so the range of spares (lenses etc)are greater for these but if you look youll find all you need for it.Read full review

I wanted to get into digital photography but did not want to commit a lot of money to it until I was sure it was what I really wanted and not just a passing fad, I'm pleased to say the Olympus e510 I purchased was a great buy and I've taken and still are taking some great photos, the Olympus e510 is an ideal camera to get into digital slr photography and I would recommend it for any one wanting to dip their toe into this hobby.
