  • Abstract:  Im Gegensatz zur E-400, hat es etwas gedauert, bis die E-500 eine Nachfolgerin bekommen hat. Das ist auch nicht weiter tragisch, weil die Olympus E-500 eine tolle Kamera ist. Bei der Olympus E-510 hat Olympus die Neuerungen der E-410 mit den Vorteilen...

  • Abstract:  Die Alternative zum Marktführer Canon EOS 400D: Beide sind gleich gut, die Olympus bietet deutlich mehr Ausstattung, der Canon-Bestseller die etwas bessere Bildqualität.

  • Abstract:  Sett till heta funktioner är E510 den mest välutrustade i klassen med både Live View och bildstabilisering. Kameran har jobbiga menyer men är annars lättjobbad, och bortsett från allt brus är bilderna helt okej.

  • Abstract:  Om man ser på olika kameramärken kan kanske Olympus liknas lite vid surströmming: folk antingen älskar eller hatar deras kameradesign. Det är nog på sin plats att jag förklarar mig lite närmare. Jag har varit ett Olympus-fan sedan 70-talet när ja...

  • Abstract:  Olympus E-510 är en systemkamera påminner mycket om E-410. Den största skillnaden är att den förstnämnda har bildstabilisator och ett stabilare grepp.
