Designed for digital SLR photographers looking for more from their camera, the EVOLT E-510 features advanced technology aimed at helping photographers build on their skills. Users will find leading-edge imaging technology packaged in an easy-to-use, affordable SLR. This compact, lightweight camera travels well and the new ergonomically styled body is comfortable to hold. Designed to be “digital from the drawing board,” the EVOLT E-510 offers technological advances that can’t be found in any other SLR, enabling crisp, color-rich photos of exceptional sharpness.

  • Advanced Image Stabilization keeps the image sharp even when the camera is moving. The E-510 uses the Olympus sensor-shift image stabilization technology to counter the effect of camera shake. The exclusive Supersonic Wave Drive™ motors, using ultrasonic technology, provide two modes of accurate high-speed image stabilization. One mode provides blur-free photography for everyday situations like low-light settings. The other mode helps capture clear images even while panning during action shots. The Olympus Image Stabilization technology is built into the body of the E-510 so it works with every lens, unlike legacy film technologies built into the lenses.
  • Keep dust off the picture.
    Like all E-System cameras, the E-510 includes Olympus’ patented and proven Supersonic Wave Filter™ that virtually eliminates dust from the image sensor. Users can change lenses in a dusty, dirty environment with confidence and take full advantage of all the features found on an SLR. No need to retouch dust spots from your photos. Spend less time retouching images and more time enjoying your photography.
  • Better photos through better technology.
    Advanced imaging processing is at the heart of the EVOLT E-510. A powerful 10-megapixel Live-MOS imager takes photos with amazing detail. The new TruePic III™ processor provides brilliantly clear images with accurate skin tones. A next-generation Noise Filter reduces graininess from noise and increases definition. Count on TruePic III to always provide the best picture quality and dynamic range.
  • All digital. No blurriness.
    Olympus offers the largest selection of lenses designed specifically for digital excellence. All of the Zuiko Digital lenses are compatible with the E-510. This award-winning family of lenses is perfectly matched to the camera’s image sensor so every pixel is properly exposed. The result? Photos with bright colors and incredible edge-to-edge sharpness that can’t compare to photos taken with traditional film lenses.

Features
  • It is not always easy to use an optical viewfinder – in a crowd you can't see over the heads of those around you, and low angle close-ups can be hard to reach. With the E-510, you have another option - use the Live-View LCD screen to preview and review photos. And you'll see the screen with amazing clarity from almost any angle.
  • The high-resolution, 2.5" HyperCrystal™ LCD screen (230,000 pixels) means you can compose your shots easily, even outside in sunlight.
  • Advanced Image Stabilization keeps your images sharp even when the camera is moving. The E-510 uses Olympus' sensor-shift image stabilization technology to counter the effect of camera shake. The exclusive Supersonic Wave Drive motors provide two modes of accurate high-speed image stabilization. One mode provides blur-free photography for everyday situations like low-light settings. The other mode helps capture clear images even while panning during action shots. Olympus' Image Stabilization technology is built into the body of the E-510 so it works with every lens, unlike legacy film technologies built into the lenses.
  • Keep dust spots off your photos. The Olympus dust reduction system is an industry first and a proven technology. Every time you turn on the E-510, our Supersonic Wave Filter™ - located between the shutter and the image sensor - silently vibrates an amazing 35,000 times per second. Dust is shaken away. You can take full advantage of all the benefits of Olympus SLR cameras and change lenses anywhere without worrying about dust.
  • You'll see more details and you'll get stunning color in all your photos with the 10-megapixel Live-MOS image sensor. Create large prints, even after cropping.
  • Portable, easy-to-handle body with grip design. The body is ergonomically designed for superior comfort. If you use a long lens, the E-510 feels balanced.
  • Olympus' digital-specific Zuiko lenses provide edge-to-edge pixel-perfect clarity. Unlike older film lenses, these advanced, precision-engineered 100-percent digital lenses are designed to work perfectly with the camera's digital technology. The result? Your photos will have exceptional color and clarity. All Zuiko lenses are compatible with all Olympus digital SLR cameras.
  • You'll find 29 exposure modes including 10 advanced modes and 19 Easy to Use Scene Select Modes. Simply select the right mode for your shot. The easy to use Scene Select Modes make you an instant expert, even with the most demanding shots. Choose from any of the 19 selections like Fireworks, Beach or Snow. The E-510 takes care of the rest.
