The EVOLT E-410 and the EVOLT E-510 share some of Olympus' newest groundbreaking features, including a Live View LCD monitor -- the first of its kind on a consumer digital camera; a powerful, 10-megapixel Live-MOS sensor; the patented Supersonic Wave Filter™ dust-reduction system that makes it easy to change lenses anywhere without worrying about dust ruining a shot; the stunningly fast TruePic III™ processor; and a high-resolution, 2.5" HyperCrystal screen for superior visibility at wider angles (even in direct sunlight).

Of course, they are each also precision engineered to work perfectly with Olympus' digital-specific Zuiko lenses for pixel-perfect, edge-to-edge clarity.

The EVOLT E-510 boasts Olympus' most advanced anti-blur technology to date: Sensor Shift Image Stabilization.  The exclusive Supersonic Wave Drive motors provide two modes of accurate, high-speed stabilization.  One mode provides blur-free photography for everyday situations such as low-light settings.  The other mode helps capture sharp images even while panning during action shots.  This technology is built into the body of the EVOLT E-510 so it works with every lens, unlike legacy film technologies that are built into individual lenses.

The smaller, lighter EVOLT E-410 features a Digital Image Stabilization shooting mode that boosts the light sensitivity of the imaging sensor and increases the shutter speed in order to reduce blur, particularly in low-light situations.  This proven technology not only minimizes distortion due to camera shake, but it also is capable of freezing a moving subject.

Both cameras offer a Scene mode with a variety of preset Scenes calibrated to produce excellent shots in a variety of shooting conditions.  The EVOLT E-410 has two additional underwater Scenes, the better to use with the available (optional) PT-E03 underwater housing.

The cameras are powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.  The EVOLT E-410 uses Olympus' BLS-1 battery, while the EVOLT E-510 uses Olympus' BLM-01 battery.
