The original ones are so expensive, the PS-BLM-1. Has Anyone bought a compatible battery for the Olympus e510? Which brand can you recommend.
I’ve bought batteries from these people for my 30D. Found them after reading recommendations on POTN and dpreview forums. What was interesting was that the guy who runs the place took part in a thread on the common practice of over stating the mAh rating on many third party batteries. Seemed like a decent guy.
Anyway, I’ve been very happy with my batteries so give them a try

Also heard good things about Sterlingtek batteries on forums

I'm in the neighborhood of upgrading my camera and wanted to know what are the major differences between the Olympus E410 and the E420? And which do you think are the most important/useful features in each and why?

The EVOLT moniker was dropped by Olympus with the introduction of the E-420 which preceded the annoucement of the E-520. The last model to officially sport the EVOLT name is the E-510 (some retailers incorrectly label the E-420 and E-520 with the name).
There is no difference between an Olympus E-series DSLR with the EVOLT name and an Olympus E-series DSLR without; the DSLRs sold in North America had the name on the boxes and the documentation whereas DSLRs sold in the rest of the world did not.
I have had this camera for a while with no issues.. today I turned it on and went to delete a pic and noticed the up and down arrow buttons are not functioning. neither is the menu button or the info button. A friend suggested i return it ti factory settings but I can not access the main menu cause the menu button is not responding… HELP!!!
Try taking out the battery and leaving it alone for 3-5 days. doing this should reset it.
If the problem persists, it may be time to call Olympus.

With the E-3 Olympus has developed an impressive array of highly reliable new technologies essential for serious SLR photographers. Olympus cameras have a history of raising the bar when it comes to reliability, toughness and durability – and the E-3 takes it to a whole new level.
The E-3 is equipped with a large optical viewfinder that provides 100 percent accurate viewing and 1.15x magnification for reliable composition – what you see is exactly what you’ll get. Even fine details are seen with astonishing clarity. The E-3’s large, precision-crafted pentaprism is crafted from high refractive index glass with a highly reflective silver coating. The eyepiece uses glass lenses. All the lenses are surface coated to maintain brightness. The focusing screen features a Neo Lumi-Micro Mat for bright, easy-to-adjust manual focusing.
Spots on photos are now banished forever. The Olympus dust reduction system is an industry first and a proven technology. Every time you turn on the E-3, our Supersonic Wave Filter – located between the shutter and the image sensor – silently vibrates an amazing 30,000 times per second. Dust is blasted away. The dust reduction system even removes dust attached by intermolecular force that can’t be shaken off or discharged with static electricity. Dust will no longer get between you and a great shot.
Shoot anywhere, anytime, in any condition. The E-3 body, the built-in flash and the LCD are all splashproof and dustproof. Constructed from a magnesium-alloy with a homogeneous composition, the E-3 is lightweight yet strong and rugged. The same goes for Zuiko Digital lenses. You’ll find splashproof and dustproof models that are as tightly sealed as the camera.
To ensure you can keep shooting, even at 5 frames per second, Olympus utilizes a durable shutter mechanism tested to 150,000 cycles making the E-3 the perfect choice for photographers who demand the most from their equipment, in any situation.
