Digital camera Olympus from IFA 2008 Berlin

Olympus E420 versus E520 video review 

The Olympus E-410 is an unusually small and light 10 Megapixel digital SLR aimed at compact or super-zoom owners who are looking to upgrade, along with enthusiasts who want a camera they can use in situations where a traditional DSLR would be too cumbersome. It’s the latest model to employ the maturing Four Thirds DSLR standard and while priced as an entry-level product, there’s currently no Four Thirds body with a higher resolution. The E-410 employs a retro look and feel, abandoning a modern grip for a flat-fronted body which resembles 35mm film SLRs of the 80s. It’s certainly anything but old-fashioned in terms of features though, sporting a new N-MOS sensor with unique Live View facilities which allow you to compose using the main colour monitor as an alternative to the traditional optical viewfinder. It also features the renowned Olympus SSWF system for eliminating dust.

The Olympus E-510 is a feature-packed 10 Megapixel DSLR based on the maturing Four Thirds standard. Announced alongside the tiny E-410 in March 2007, the new E-510 packs in a raft of features which include anti-dust, Live View, and built-in anti-shake facilities which work with any lens you attach; indeed it’s the very first Four Thirds DSLR to feature built-in stabilisation. It’s a powerful feature-set, and priced competitively against rival 10 Megapixel DSLRs. The E-510 shares the same N-MOS sensor as the E-410, providing the Live View option which lets you compose with the main colour screen as an alternative to the traditional optical viewfinder. This is still a fairly unique feature to find on a DSLR and offers a number of benefits including 100% coverage and overlaid graphics including alignment grids and a live histogram.
