I’m a little late on noticing this one, the review was actually posted a week ago. But in case you missed it also, Steve’s Digicams has an Olympus E-510 review up.

He doesn’t have any negative comments about the camera at all. Actually, large portions of the review sound like they might have come straight out of an Olympus press release. Take this section that discusses the anti-dust system:

A common problem with interchangeable lens digital SLR cameras is dust settling on the image sensor. The EVOLT features an Olympus exclusive patented ultrasonic technology, the SuperSonic Wave Filter, to reduce the effects of micro dust settling on the image sensor and impacting the image quality. Located between the shutter and the CCD, the Supersonic Wave Filter uses high-speed ultrasonic vibration to cause most types of dust to fall away from the image sensor so it will not appear in photographs.

The filter vibrates at 35,000 times per second and is activated every time the camera powers on, or manually via a menu selection, to instantly remove the dust from in front of the image sensor. The CCD assembly is isolated from the Supersonic Wave Filter by an airtight seal to protect it even more. This unique Olympus feature gives you the confidence to shoot photos and change lenses in the field, just as you’ve always done, without the worry of images being damaged or ruined by dust on the imager.

“Unique Olympus feature?” Sure, maybe this specific anti-dust system, but since every DSLR manufacturer is offering a dust removal system, that doesn’t exactly sound like unbiased writing. The whole section just sounds more like a press release than a review, if you ask me. But you probably didn’t ask me, so I’ll just be quiet and let you read the review yourself.

As you might expect from a review that doesn’t find any faults with the camera at all, the conclusion is positive:

The Olympus E-510 is a very capable digital SLR, offering terrific image quality, an extensive list of useful features and an automatic cure for a common dSLR annoyance – the dusty image sensor. The E-510 is also a terrific value; for under $1000 you can get the E-510 in a Two Lens Outfit with both the 14-42mm and 40-150 lenses, a package that covers an effective focal length range of 28-300mm. It competes well with other consumer dSLR’s and offers a compelling alternative to those considering high-end consumer digicams. The E-510′s Auto and Scene modes will produce high quality snapshots for beginners, while its advanced operating modes will satisfy the enthusiast photographer – it’s truly a camera the entire family can use.

There are some sample photos available, so be sure to check those out along with the full review if you’re interested in the E-510.
