E-500 vs E-510

(mike anker - 7/25/07)

I have had the exact same result as the last review. I tested the 500 & 510 on a tripod with the same lenses at many different settings & found the E-510 colors to be flat, dull & inaccurate especially skin colors. Not even close to the E500. My wife is Thai & her olive skin color was way better with the old 500. I tried vivid, natural, red & green up & down all to no avail. I wish I could return it but that is not possible as my brother brought it to us in Bangkok. He will send it back to the Olympus factory for me but I suspect I an screwed. At least I only bought the body. Now I must decide to stay with the E-500 or buy the Rebel XTI or the new Nikon D-40X. HELP !
