Olympus Unveils Two New E-Series Digital SLRs

Olympus announced today two new E-Series cameras for the photo hobbyists. The EVOLT E-510 (available in July) and the E-410 (available in June). Both cameras sport anti-dust Supersonic Wave Filtering to dustless high quality photos. Both cameras are 10 mega-pixels with image stablization and live preview. Specs for each camera are after the jump, thanks to Ubergizmo for detailing them.

I have an E-500 and I love it but there are a few things that could definitely be improved, the first of which is noise. According to the specs Olympus is using a TruePic III Image Processor which reduces noise by one step at higher ISO settings. This is good, but the actual results will be key. They’ve also introduced a Full Time Live LCD which allows you to use either the LCD or view finder to frame a picture. This is one feature I do miss from the point and shoot cameras.

I’m not sure yet if I’ll spring for the camera right away, but I’ll definitely get my hands on one to test out and we’ll review. If someone from Olympus wants to “hook me up” feel free to contact me.

There is no word yet on actual prices but Amazon.com has the E-510 listed for $899 and the E-410 listed for $599.00
