Olympus E410 and E510 Announced
#1

In time for PMA, Olympus announced new models of their digital SLRs today - the E-410 and E-510. These replace the E-400 and E-500 bodies, with some new interesting features:

Quote:Olympus Imaging Corporation announced today that the company will be releasing the new E-410 digital SLR camera at the end of April 2007. The world's smallest, slimmest and lightest* interchangeable-lens digital SLR camera, the E-410 incorporates all the core features of Olympus E-System cameras, including the "Dedicated Digital Design," "Dust Reduction" and "Live View" functions.

Key features:
* 10-megapixel Live MOS Image Sensor
* Dust Reduction System
* Full Time Live View HyperCrystal LCD
* 2.5-inch LCD display with approximately 230,000 pixels
* TruePic III Image Processor
* Body Estimated Street Price: $699

Now for the E-510:

Quote:Olympus Imaging Corporation (President Masaharu Okubo) announced today that release of the E-510, a digital SLR camera featuring a stabilizer unit to prevent blurring caused by hand shake and based on the E-System concept of offering the "Dedicated Digital Design," "Dust Reduction" and " Live View" functions on all models, is scheduled for July 2007.

Key features:
* 10-megapixel Live MOS Image Sensor
* Mechanical Image Stabilization
* Dust Reduction System
* Full Time Live View HyperCrystal LCD
* 2.5-inch LCD display with approximately 230,000 pixels
* TruePic III Image Processor
* Body Estimated Street Price: $799

As far as I can tell, the main differences between the two models is the image stabilisation feature on the E-510, and the size of the bodies: the E-410 is measures 5.1 inches (129.5mm) by 3.58 inches (91mm) and 2.1 inches (53mm), excluding protrusions, and weighing 13.4 ounces (380 grams); while the E-510 weighs in at 5.35 inches (136mm) by 3.61 inches (91.7mm) and 2.2 inches (56mm), excluding protrusions, and weighing 16.2 ounces (460 grams) body only.

Along with these, Olympus also announced some new lenses:

* ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-60mm (24-120mm) F2.8-4.0 SWD
* ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 50-200mm (100-400mm) F2.8-3.5 SWD
* ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 14-35mm (28-70mm)F2.0 SWD
* ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 70-300mm (140-600mm) F4.0-5.6
* ZUIKO DIGITAL 2.0x Teleconverter EC-20
