Olympus launches new DSLR cameras, EVOLT E-410 and E-510
Live 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.
Below are the specs for the two cameras:
- D-SLR with built-in image stabiliser
- 10 Megapixel Live MOS sensor

- New image processing engine
- Hi-Speed USB 2.0
- 2.5”/6.4cm HyperCrystal LCD

- Built-in pop-up flash (GN 10)
- 3fps with up to seven images in RAW buffer
