Olympus launches new DSLR cameras, EVOLT E-410 and E-510Live Preview is one of the functions I’ve missed on DSLR cameras from the beginning and Olympus had the first camera, E-330, that offers this function. Now Olympus added two now DSLR models with this function, the EVOLT E-410 and E-510.

Essentially both cameras have approximately the same specs, with the addition of Image Stabilisation and support for both CF and xD memory cards on EVOLT E-510 model. Both cameras offer a 10 megapixel LiveMOS sensor, TruePic III image processor, Supersonic Wave Filter for dust protection and a 2.5”/6.4cm HyperCrystal LCD.
