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
