Olympus Evolt E-510
Olympus Evolt E-510

It’s no secret Nikon and Canon dominate the market for D-SLRs leaving Sony, Pentax and Olympus to pick up the crumbs. That said, D-SLRs from these companies are far from crummy—in fact they can be pretty good as we reported over a year ago with the Sony alpha. Many people opt for Canon and Nikon because they have older 35mm lenses from those systems and want to use that glass in the digital era. However, if you never bought a lens in your life it’s worth looking beyond the Big Two just as we’ve done in the past. Olympus recently introduced a pair of 10-megapixel D-SLRs using the Four Thirds Standard mounting system (the Evolt E-410 and E-510). Claimed to be digital from the ground up, there are plenty of Olympus Zuiko lenses to choose from (17 to be exact) ranging from fish-eyes up to a 300mm f2.8 super telephoto. Since the Four Thirds Standard has a digital factor of 2x, lenses are actually double the stated focal length (600mm in the case of the 300mm f2.8) giving you a very nice range of glass. Granted it’s nothing near the options of Canon and Nikon but for those dipping into the D-SLR waters there’s enough to keep you happy—and broke. Olympus models also have a feature called “Live View” that lets you frame your shots on the 2.5-inch LCD screen, not just the viewfinder, something very few D-SLRs offer. The Canon EOS 1D Mark III does but it costs over $4,000 USD and so does the new EOS 40D ($1,299 USD body only). We were sent the $999 USD Evolt E-510 two lens kit and proceeded to give the camera a workout…
