i have the 520. the 510 is a great camera. although live view is a great feature to have when you're beginning, i encourage people to not get dependent on it. you will have much more fun using the viewfinder.
We are realy only intrested in one thing and this is not your face. We want to see the camera. So look at some other video's over here and learn. This "review" is useless.
Live view was brought on by ignorance and the wants of consumers. I hate live view. If you own a DSLR and use live-view extensively, you're not a serious photographer.
Ijust bought this camera yesterday! I originally went after the Nikkon D40X. Best Buy told me it was being discontinued and they were out. After comparing this one sounded better, and I love my old Olympus camera. My 510 came with 2 lenses, a photo program, and battery with charger for $749. The Nikkon D40X and Canon were $699.
If you're just starting out, the Nikon D40 or D80 are great cameras to learn on. I am not very familiar with Canon. The D40x is another nice option. It is essentially the same camera as the D40, except it has a 10.2 Mp sensor whereas the D40 has a 6.1 (I believe) sensor.

Hey Mr. expotv,
We are realy only intrested in one thing and this is not your face. We want to see the camera. So look at some other video's over here and learn. This "review" is useless.

This looks like a nice camera, a little pricey though

It doesnt give a "poof of air", There is a small filter in front of the sensor that vibrates everytime you turn the camera on.

The E-volt series is great, but I'd suggest Canon EOS or Nikon D-series SLRs

do you know does the nikon d40x has live view like the olympus e-330/e-410/e-510? thanks!

No, in order to have live view, you will have to get the new D300, which has a hefty price tag.

thanks for the response!
