Typical price: £540
What is it: 10-megapixel dSLR camera with Live View LCD
What we think: Great customisation features and a compact camera-style framing make this a good entry-level dSLR
What you need to know
Reviewed on: 20 September 2007
Tags: kit, length, bars, exposure
We like:
Sensor-shift image stabilisation; Live View mode (LCD preview) operation
We don't like:
Sluggish autofocus; subpar exposure and white balance performance; some poor choices for default settings
CNET UK judgement:
The Olympus E-510 has quirky exposure and white balance issues but its Live View and Image Stabilisation modes may make some photographers give this dSLR a chance

Canon PowerShot A2100 IS
We wish it were slightly faster, but it offers a useful 6x zoom and great photo quality
Canon PowerShot A480
Fuss-free compact that takes good photos given the price. Just don't expect too much from it
Canon Digital IXUS 990 IS
Good camera, but it's underspecified and overpriced, even compared to other IXUS models
Fujifilm FinePix S1500
Its lens and image quality aren't great, but it's a good option for beginner photographers
