Olympus E-510<br />
The E-510 nudges digital single-lens<br />
reflex cameras another step closer to<br />
capturing reality as faithfully as your<br />
retinas. Standard analog SLR features<br />
are still here, of course, like an optical<br />
viewfinder, zero shutter delay, and lens<br />
swappability. But the 10-megapixel<br />
E-510 busts out some advances not<br />
yet common among its DSLR brethren,<br />
such as a live histogram—to remind<br />
you to turn off spot-metering before<br />
taking your pale-as-a-newt cubemate’s<br />
Match.com pic, say. Image quality,<br />
with fine details chiseled into place and<br />
minimal noise or grain, resembles film<br />
prints and rivals pro models costing<br />
hundreds more. —ZACK STERN<br />
