Olympus E510?

People,

What could you sincerely say about Olympus E510?

The price offered is really good these days...
Moreover, I have E-300, and alltogether like it. I would prefer a camera
with higher ISO though.
Should I go for the price/quality ratio yet again? Especially now that I
have some Four Thirds lenses already?
Or bite the bullet and buy Canon 40D which is really amazing?

Thanks,
SB

 

I went from the E330 to the E510 and am extremely happy and satisfied
with the purchase. I also have several Olympus lenses and flashes -
just got the 12-60 BTW - and did not wish to change brands. I have
been very happy with my Olympus DSLRs over the years - still think
they produce the best color of any of the major players.
The improvements from the E300/330 to the E510 (better high ISO,
better and faster AF, more MP, more comfortable handling at least for
me) were well worth the upgrade.

Thanks. Interesting. I would agree about the color - if you shoot Raw
though.
JPEG is more attractive with Canons and Nikon.
And again, 40D can go as high as 3200 ISO... The only one available today I
believe.

 

My son-in-law shot professionally for newspapers with Nikon (just
switched to Canon) and from what I saw of his JPEGs I would disagree
completely. They both - at least to my eyes - have good and bad points
to their color, but overall I think (and my son-in-law agreed) that
Olympus JPEGs out of the camera were better.

I believe (don't have the camera so it is just from what I have read)
that the Oly E3 also goes to 3200.
