Worth Paying Extra For
The E-510 costs roughly £100 more than the E-410, regardless of whether you buy the single or twin lens kit. Given that the camera is largely the same (photographically speaking) this means you’re paying a £100 premium for Image Stabilisation. As this effectively converts any lens fitted to the camera into a ‘stabilised’ optic (including manual OM lenses) we say it’s worth every single penny.

Although the E-510 is now discontinued, its a great camera. The standard Kit lense 14-42 is one of the best performers on the market. Picture quality is way above average when compared to the competition, but fit the pro 14-54 F-2.8 standard zoom and the pictures become outstanding for sharpness which goes to show that very high pixel count is not as crucial as some reviewers would have you believe. If you can find a used E-510 body get it and hold on to it as its a little gem. Peter
