Many are now saying the images on that .es site are FAKE, because the images posted don't match the images Olympus posted in their "March 5th" teaser, and if the images are fake who knows what else is fake.

I'll only trust what Olympus says in two days, and everything else is wasteful speculation! :hung:
 

I don't think it is weatherproofed if the specs are to be believed as the E510 weighs less than 500 grams.

It does have an adv over k10D due to live view. Personally I would rather have live view + lighter body over weatherproofing.

I don't think the E510 body will launch below $1.5k. My best guess is $1.5k for E510 body only

i cudn't find that part that says Live View. where? only saw LiveMos, which is an NMOS sensor juz like the E330 except 10MP. IIRC Oly has mentioned that the innovatie features r left to the 3xx range, compact is the 4xx range & normal entry is the 5xx range.

i dun know.. i still like the K10D better. one for the anti shake, 2nd for the CCD sensor. me no liketh the quality of NMOS. if i had to choose a MOS sensor, i'd rather go with the C. :p
 

Blu By U,Don't worry about the "taufu" issue.Olympus camera is always better build than S,C,N.My E300 is just a piece of brick.Not 1D range,but i think should be D200 range build quality through without the wheaterseal.
 

The guys over at LetsGoDigital has taken down the website that 'leak' E510 specs. So, I quickly cut-and-paste the info of E410 here before it 'disappear'. The specs doesn't vary much from what the dealer at Spain has stated in their website.

Olympus E-410
Ilse Jurriën : March 3th 2007 - 00:22 CET

Olympus E-410 : Extraordinary compactness, leading-edge technology and brilliant performance distinguish the new Olympus E-410 from the rest. This successor to the E-400 is one of the most compact D-SLRs with Live Preview. Photographers benefit from exceptional mobility and are not limited to only looking through the viewfinder when framing compositions, but can also frame their subject directly on the large 2.5" HyperCrystal LCD. Thanks to compatibility with the Four Thirds Standard, a supreme selection of lenses and accessories is at the disposal of users to extend the potential areas of application. Meanwhile, a professional-grade Live MOS sensor ensures 10 Megapixels of high-definition image recording under all conditions.

Olympus E410 - Supersonic Wave Filter
Also new is the image processing engine which features excellent noise performance. It dramatically boosts shooting results and further perfects quality. And naturally, as with all E-System cameras from the inventor of dust-free D-SLR photography, the Olympus E-410 incorporates the patented Supersonic Wave Filter. This ensures that users never need to worry about the harmful effects dust can have on their images.

Olympus E-410 - Ultra compact D-SLR
One of the smallest and lightest D-SLRs with Live Preview in the world, the E-410 gives photographers a decisive advantage. Matched with a range of ultra-compact lenses, this camera allows for virtually unimpeded mobility. It is therefore ideal for taking along on trips, holidays, photo assignments or, for that matter, to just about any shooting situation where a large, bulky camera set-up might compromise the photo opportunities.

Olympus E-410 SLR - Live Preview
The Live Preview function is available for shots with both auto focus (AF) and manual focusing (MF), allowing scenes being framed to be viewed directly on the 2.5”/6.4cm HyperCrystal LCD. The AF function is enabled by simply pressing the AEL/AFL button, which prompts the mirror to fold down momentarily and then quickly pop back up again once the AF measurement has been made. The MF option, meanwhile, allows for superior focusing accuracy as images on the LCD can be enlarged by 7x or 10x. It is therefore ideally suited for macro shooting.

Olympus E410 digital SLR - Live MOS sensor
In the development of this camera, particular emphasis was placed on boosting performance and further reducing image noise. By incorporating a new image processing engine and sensor, this latest Olympus model produces sensationally clear 10 Megapixel results with accurate colour reproduction, and can boast faster processing speeds as well as low power consumption: Sequential shooting at up to 3fps with a seven image RAW buffer in burst mode is possible.

Olympus E-410 digital SLR - Superior handling
It meets just about every professional demand, yet the E-410 proves that high performance needn’t mean difficult operation. In addition to offering an abundance of adjustable exposure options, including full manual control for unlimited creative freedom, 32 consumer-friendly shooting modes are on board for ease-of-use in all manner of situations. These range from Portrait and Macro to Underwater Wide, Underwater Macro and xD Panorama. Meanwhile, photographers can make use of various colour modes and Black&White filters. What’s more, Live Preview functionality allows users to preview and manage tedious adjustments such as exposure and WB compensation right on the LCD – so photographers can revel in the unique comfort and control this added convenience affords them.

Olympus E-410 digital reflex camera - Storage
Users have a choice of data storage options: Both CompactFlash and xD-Picture Cards can be used with the E-410, which allows even those upgrading from Olympus compact cameras to continue using their existing cards. And to ensure accessibility across the entire European continent, ten languages are on board and a further 15 can be downloaded if desired.

Olympus E410 dSLR - Hi Speed USB
With the intuitive placement of buttons and controls, photographers will feel at home with the E-410 in no time. Info screens can be selected to show full advanced information or just the basics, making it very user-friendly, even for beginners. And ensuring quick data transfer between camera and computer, Hi-Speed USB is supported with up to 480 MBit/s.

Olympus E410 - SLR accessories
Users benefit from nearly boundless versatility when choosing accessories for their E-410 thanks to compatibility with the Four Thirds System. This standard is supported by a growing number of companies and ensures full cross-manufacturer compatibility of lenses. In addition, almost the complete line-up of E-System accessories can be used with this model. This includes first-class, near telecentric lenses that cover the full scope of focal ranges from fisheye to ultrazoom. Since Four Thirds Standard lenses are built specifically for the rigorous demands of digital photography, they can achieve higher-aperture shots without being as big and bulky as their non-Four Thirds counterparts. The E-410 also comes equipped with a long-lasting rechargeable battery that will ensure power requirements are met – even if the shoot goes into overtime. And for capturing beautiful motifs up to 40m below the water’s surface, the Underwater Case PT-E03 is available. When it comes to those underwater shots, count on bright Live Preview to make the experience even more rewarding: Get a better and more accurate view of compositions before you shoot them – and take the guesswork out of D-SLR underwater photography.

Olympus E410 digital reflex camera
As one of the world’s most compact D-SLRs with Live Preview capability, the E-410 boasts two very convincing arguments. Matched with a high-performance image sensor and a fast new image engine featuring outstanding noise characteristics, ambitious photographers can look forward to superior picture quality and excellent handling that exceeds expectations – while retaining amazing mobility. This intriguing member of the E-System family will be available from June 2007.

A pity that the LCD screen on the E-510 is fixed... :(

Alright... where's the damn E-whatever with a swivel & tilt LCD screen... ;)
 

i cudn't find that part that says Live View. where? only saw LiveMos, which is an NMOS sensor juz like the E330 except 10MP. IIRC Oly has mentioned that the innovatie features r left to the 3xx range, compact is the 4xx range & normal entry is the 5xx range.

i dun know.. i still like the K10D better. one for the anti shake, 2nd for the CCD sensor. me no liketh the quality of NMOS. if i had to choose a MOS sensor, i'd rather go with the C. :p

just curious, what is wrong with the nmos sensor? I have both the E300 and E330 and I can do comparison shots between the kodak and panasonic sensor easily.
 

MOS are typically lower quality, cheaper, noisier, etc. That's why they're used in webcams. Cameras that use MOS devices (incl. Canon) require much harsher noise reduction to make the picture look decent, even at 100ISO.
 

the cams are pretty small, like the film days. Hope the e-510 be cheap. I'll be soon going back to primes...
 

the only bad point about NMOS might be the rare occasion of banding issue that was faced by some users, hopefully they can resolved it in the newer bodies.

other than that, the noise level control looks good enough to shoot it even at ISO 1600. e-330 was definitely way better than e-1, e-300, e-500 in the noise control department.

the thing i dont really like about e-330 is the lack of super saturation of colour that i was so used to to my ex-e-300. :embrass:
 

could a battery grip be possible?

Who knows, there's no announcement about a new camera yet...you'll have to wait at least until there's a camera to talk about. No use speculating about a product that doesn't exist.

Most likely the E-x will have a battery grip...but who knows if it will be part of the camera like the Olydak or removable like the E-1 grip was.
 

just curious, what is wrong with the nmos sensor? I have both the E300 and E330 and I can do comparison shots between the kodak and panasonic sensor easily.

nothing particularly wrong, juz a personal preference. Kodak is color... :bsmilie:

i think the banding issue is more of a design than a sensor thing. heard it has something to do with the individual channel amplification not being the same. diff temp, diff offset, so banding also varies according to surrounding ambient temp. not sure if this is true so dun quote me ya? :sweatsm:
 

E500 was the last oly dslr to use Kodak CCD, right?
 

Going forward, I think Olympus has kept to their part of promise. Just a look at the successing dSLR and yet to be released lenses. It is suffice to say that they are really serious in competing in this segment of the market. The price of E-510 and E-410 are extremely competitive. C, N and S is probably perspiring right now? :dunno: No wonder Olympus declared that they want to achieve No.2 position in the dSLR market. Go for it! :)
 

quite happy that both the E410 and E510 does not have a moveable LCD. So the E330 at least have some use.

E510 looks very useful. The new live view comes with live histogram :) + effects of WB, exposure compensation all in :)

But now dunno what lens to buy next time. The 11-22 and 14-54 seems to be replaced by the 12-60... even the 50-200 has a new version with improved color blur.

hopefully the lens will not be delayed.....

The 12-60 looks very interesting. Wonder how much better/worse it is compared to the 11-22. Hopefully there is some discounts for the old lens coming up.
