PIE2008: Olympus E-510 Succesor
Photo Imaging Expo 2008: Olympus presents a reference unit of the E-510 succesor. Not much info about the camera and…


Olympus’ booth is situated in the centre of the exhibition
hall, one cant possibly missed it. I had a few words with Leo Goh of Olympus Malaysia
and tested out their latest dslr the Olympus E-510. Apart from that, I tried
the Zuiko 300mm F2.8 mounted on an E-330. Almost full range of Olympus lens
were present at the show, some half-cut mock up were seen. An Olympus P-1 mock
up were present too.

According to Leo, the Olympus E-510 with Image Stabilization (IS) activated is able to maintain 100% sharpness of the photo up to 3-stops down. As user goes to 4-stops down, 90% sharpness is believed to be achievable.
