Not the ladies I know...many of them use bodies that are larger than the E-1, and when doing landscape photography use lenses that are over 2ft long. Personally I prefer smaller and lighter for walking around, that's why I chose the E-300 and use a 500mm mirror reflex lens...of course I would have love the E-410 when I bought (although I would have liked the E-510 features on it). I tried the E-410 and E-510 a few weeks ago.

I don't think that the E-510 release date is a roumor anywhere. It is clearly written on Olympus Swedish site in Swedish, so it is probably stated on other Oly websites also. The roumor is the E-x release date and product name. Personally I will wait until the end of this year to decide if I am to get E-x (or wait more for it) or get the E-510 or just wait until my E-500 gives up but I hope many people will buy both the E-410 and the E-510. I think the E-510 will be a very nice camera regardless of where it is made.
Yes, I understand that but as for the Singapore release, that is no roumor.
The above is a direct copy from Oly Singapore. Last sentence on this page.

I just mean the release date and the name of E-510 is public. It may be different in different regions or countries, it may also be delayed for some reason someplace (or everywhere) but it is hardly a roumor anymore.

do not despair... the E510 IS works like a charm. :lovegrin:
but i won't be getting any of these entry DSLRs yet. i want to see what the "big bro" has to offer 1st at the end of this yr. ;p
Blu, don't name the software la! I deliberately left it out HAHA
haven't heard of any problems with the E-410 except for the slight under-exposing problem with the metering but I understand that only applies in some ESP or P modes?
Was playing with my friend's 410 and its working perfectly fine otherwise. He personally doesnt mind the pics being a little underexposed? Now, we are pooling assets and sharing lenses. ;oP

I think the 410s with exposure problems were just a bad batch.
I've no problems with ESP on my 410; others have reported it to be working fine as well.
Lawrence (aka scared of the dark) did a comprehensive review of the 410 and did not encounter any problems with exposure.
Oh, do go read it (it's a sticky). It's excellently done.
dunno why only some users have issues with this camera. i am for one is one of the early adopters of the camera, definitely no issues from me except the lack of remote cable release! :embrass:

He... He... Still sticking to my OM-1n and OM-4Ti. T-Max 400 on OM-1n and Fujichrome 100 on OM-4Ti. Guess what? No ultrasonic wave cleaner, no 10.0 M pixels, no vibration reduction.... pictures still more stunning than all the digital camera put together!
And fixed lenses some more, OM 28mm f2.8 and OM 35mm f2.0.

Um, why are you here if you have no interest in FourThirds cameras other than trolling?
Those of us who have discovered the benefits of digital cameras, especially FourThirds cameras love them and don't need these type of comments here.
Personally in the past have used 35mm (the same camera for 20 years), medium format (a 6x6 was my first camera), and large format (16"x20") cameras in the past, and started in the darkroom when I was 11, but I haven't used film in the past five years because the benefits of digital outweigh the benefits of film.

Well, I also have the E-300. But the original OM series cameras are so irrestible. Compact, light, higher reliability. I took my OMs for my Austria trip.
If casual shooting, digital. More serious ones, still film die hard. What to do?
Like some other diehard Oly users, I used the same OM2n for about 25 years. I was very happy with it to the bitter end, April 2006. In March, I decided it was time to move. Never used film since then and don't want to. IMO, a good dSLR has better quality today then film unless you do your own development. All the labs use automatic processing ant that I found to be less and less good. If you stick to film is your choise. I also like the form and feeling of OM cameras, I actually also had OM10, OM1, OM1n and OM2 also, so I know what I am talking about. Anyway, I will never return to film. IMO a good and reliable dSLR beats any film camera when the whole process, from taking the image to viewing a ready picture on screen or paper print is taken into account today. The only issue is the price. dSLR are still more expensive than 35mm film cameras.Well, I also have the E-300. But the original OM series cameras are so irrestible.

This thread is about E-510, so I think this is way off topic. To use or not to use dSLR for serious photography is not the subject of this thread discussion. I suggest you start your own thread on the topic if you have something to share or show and explain why you regard dSLR as too bad for serious work. :dunno: I am sure many ppl are very interested. Anyway, everybody knows that some pros still use film and some companies require film. So, that is not an argument.

Is it me or do a few folks need to take a chill pill?
Oh come on, I dont think Fire Kirin was trolling. I've an OM1n and while I dont use it as much now, its an Oly. Not 4/3 yes, but its part of the innovation trail that makes us fans of Oly right?
Quit jumping on each other and just have a bit of flexibility yeah.
cheers

Fire Kirin's original post implied that they only used a film camera and it was much better than digital (from what I read)...if they had said from the beginning, "While I have an E-300, I still use my OM a lot because ..." it wouldn't have been an issue at all. It was the tone of the message that implied they were superior because they still used only film.
It would be different as a non-4/3 user you were here to ask questions to learn about the format, and the differences between film and digital. I never understand why people participate in forums where they don't have the equipment, or plan to buy the equipment discussed in them...other than to troll. When I was a C-700 user I wouldn't have participated in this forum, a D-series or Stylus/Mju forum, never mind Canon or Nikon forums.
Just before I decided to buy I did READ through the messages posted in FourThirds forums, as well as forums for the other cameras I was considering to learn both the good things, and as well the problems people had with the cameras I was considering. If I did post a question the first sentence was, "I am considering to buy a ... can you tell me about ..." letting them know while I wasn't a user, I wasn't there to bash the equipment they used especially if I was asking about a shortcoming of the particular camera.
Fire Kirin's message appeared to be bashing FourThirds, and that's where the charge of trolling came from, and rereading just that message (WITHOUT reading the additional post) I stand by that comment. If there was some way to report the post to a moderator, like a COMPLAINT or REPORT THIS POST button, I would have used that.
Relax guys, there's really no need to get upset.
I don't think Fire Kirin's intention was to bash FourThirds; rather it he just stated his preference for film at this point in time.
True we don't want to see threads go ridiculously off topic; at the same time we cannot be so draconian as to see going a little bit off topic as a crime.
We at FourThirds/Oly user forum are a small, intimate group; I had the pleasure to meet quite of few of you in person. For our overseas friends outside SG and Malaysia, that is difficult to do; but all have contributed to the forum in one way or another.
The written word is such that you don't see the face saying them. For some, English is not their native language, and may understand the same written word differently from others. At the same time, the localised Singapore English is difficult for other English speakers to understand. All these are prime factors to being misunderstood.
Clear up the misunderstandings and move on; forums are means of communications, and communication is what brings people together.

"Even more eye opening than the picture the camera took it".
E-510, part of the E-System. The first and only consumer DSLR series with Live View. A real time LCD screen that lets you keep your eye on the action, not on a viewfinder. Next time you visit France for the big bike race, CAPTURE IT ALL.
E-510. getolympus.com
The ad is out on Digital ProPhoto May/June 2007 issue. No idea what the hell the copyrighter was trying to say, but hey, something interesting here... suggesting a slightly different Live View for the production model??

Think this reviewer is still in the dark ages. Or never read even bother to read up on the Fourthirds. :think: E-330 is the first dSLR with LiveView and that is followed by the DMC-L1 and the Digilux 3.
