First Olympus DSLR with IBIS and 14-42mm, sensor-shift stabilisation for all lenses at minimal used cost.
The Olympus E-510 with 14-42mm is a compact Four Thirds DSLR kit from 2007 that introduced in-body image stabilisation to the Olympus DSLR range. The E-510 was the first Olympus DSLR with sensor-shift stabilisation, providing IS with all Four Thirds lenses.
The sensor-shift IBIS stabilises any lens mounted on the camera — a significant advantage over systems requiring stabilised lenses. The 10-megapixel sensor delivers Olympus colour quality, and the 14-42mm covers 28-84mm equivalent for everyday photography.
Build quality is compact Olympus Four Thirds. The IBIS was a significant innovation for the Olympus DSLR range, and the compact body maintains the size advantage of the Four Thirds format.
The E-510 kit offers the first Olympus IBIS DSLR at minimal used cost. The body stabilisation adds genuine handheld capability to all Four Thirds lenses, and the compact dimensions remain advantageous.
