lots of defective e510
(konoimo - 1/2/08)I played with the e510 a lot before i returned it. I matched it setting for setting, same lenses to compare it with my e500. I had problems with mine because I bought it early. Apparently, there lots of defective units sold on first shipments. I'm still solid on the e500, I have 2 of them.
Also bought the E3. Now thats a camera!!! E510 doesn't even compare to Olympus E3. Image stabilization of E3 gives 5 stops of compensation apparently. Flip out LCD, Live view, 5 FPS burst mode, solid steel body, weather proofing... I can go on an on about the E3.
If you want a solid pro model dSLR, go E3. If you want consumer grade, go E500 or risk buying an E510 that may be defective. Hold on to your receipt. I'm glad I did... I wasn't happy at all with the underexposure of the E510, the blown out highlights, and smudged details of noise reduction...
