Best Digital Camera Under 200

Olympus E 510 Evolt

While I normally prefer a status LCD to this method, I do like the way Olympus built its status screen, since you can quickly navigate through the screen to change any of the settings included in that view. Of course, there are also hard buttons for commonly changed settings, such as ISO, white balance, and AF mode, in case you want to bypass the status screen, which you access by pressing the OK button in the middle of the five-way touchpad. Featuring 10 MP imager to enhance your picture taking experience, this camera is equipped with 2.5″ HyperCrystal LCD screen to compose your shots easily, even in sunlight. The
Olympus Evolt E-510
uses Olympus’ sensor-shift image stabilization technology to counter the effect of camera shake. The 2.5 HyperCrystal LCD enables images to be beautifully displayed in vivid color, even from 176-degree viewing angles or in bright sunlight. The Live-View feature provides users with the choice of framing images with the viewfinder or on the LCD Display, making it simple to preview and review your images.

With the E-510, you have another option – use the Live-View LCD screen to preview and review photos. And you’ll see the screen with amazing clarity from almost any angle. Olympus? Live View LCD technology is a unique feature that enhances your picture-taking experience. Whatever life brings, whatever you?re photographing, you?ll capture colorful memories with the E-510?s proven Dust Reduction System and powerful, 10-megapixel imager. I had the SP-350 and there were occasions when the sunlight would drown out the LCD, or a subject would get lost in the LCD. I’ve found the transition to the viewfinder an easy one.

Using a Live View LCD preview mode, it helps you gently make the transition. Loads of features will a . Olympus’ Live View LCD technology is a unique feature that enhances your picture-taking experience. Whatever life brings, whatever you’re photographing, you’ll capture colorful memories with the E-510′s proven Dust Reduction System and powerful, 10-megapixel imager. Olympus models also have a feature called “Live View” that lets you frame your shots on the 2.5-inch LCD screen, not just the viewfinder, something very few D-SLRs offer.

The Olympus E-510 is arguably the most feature-packed DSLR in its class, ticking almost every box on the wish-lists of new DSLR buyers. You get 10 Megapixels in a relatively light and compact form factor, the option of one or two decent kit lenses, and the triple whammy of built-in anti-shake, anti-dust and Live View capabilities, not to mention easy access to a wide variety of settings. When I first tried this new Olympus Evolt E-510 DSLR last week, I was initially puzzled by some of the noises it was making, which is unusual for me. I?ve been reviewing digital cameras for about ten years, and in that time I?ve handled and used hundreds of different cameras, from the earliest sub-megapixel snapshot models to the latest professional digital SLRs. The E-510, a 10-megapixel DSLR, is smaller and lighter than its predecessor, the E-500.

Kit lenses are excellent; clear, bright and compact. Camera is very comfortable to handle, not too big, nor too small. Olympus has always had a reputation for its innovative, compact single-lens-reflex (SLR) camera design, and this new model lives up to its predecessors. With a 2.5-inch Live View LCD monitor, 10-megapixel imaging sensor, and proven dust reduction system for clear, spot-free photographs, the EVOLT E-510 will be a major contender?and this Magic Lantern Guide is the place to go to learn how to use all its fabulous features of this major digital SLR contender. Single lens kit includes the camera body and the 14-42mm Lens.
