Another Olympus E-system review

Olympus E-510

I don't buy Amateur Photographer much these days, but sight of a review of Olympus' E-410 and E-510 SLR's got a copy into my possession. Amateur Photographer review features are usually comprehensive and this was no exception; there was none of the vitriol directed towards the Live View feature by Practical Photography, a defining feature of what I consider a lop-sided and none too useful review. The verdict was positive in the main, with the E-510 getting the nod over the E-410 because it fared better on the usability side of things. Image quality, my major concern, was said to be impressive with only dynamic range counting against the results. The Live View feature didn't attract the harsh commentary devoted to it by Practical Photography. Following this review, I have to say that the E-510 does tempt me with its combination of good image quality, dust removal and image stabilisation.
