Olympus E510 or Nikon D60?
Posted by admin | Under Olympus E510 Monday Nov 23, 2009I’m tied between the 2 DSLRs.
1. Which is the better choice?
2. I heard that Olympus Lens are more expensive?
3. Olympus could only use Zuiko Lens? is it true??
Please help! with detailed explanations! thanks you guys!
Both have some very good features-
E510 advantages-
Built in image stabilization inside the body (so it works with every lens)
Hot pixel mapping
Maximum shutter speed of 1/4000 sec
Liveview LCD (which is a useless feature)
D60 advantages-
Nikon systems/lenses/accessories supported (which is a really big plus)
Slightly larger sensor (which in image clarity makes no difference and just a slight difference in focal length perception)
Good in-camera image processing.
Both of the cameras support dust-reduction features which hardly work.
I would have bought D40 rather than these since the flash sync speed is good, noise performance is better and it’s cheaper.

I bought my first DSLR just last October. Before I bought it, I was planning to buy the Olympus E520 because I’m a proud owner of an Olympus C-770 UZ (point and shoot camera) which served my purpose very well.
I got a Nikon D60 mainly for these reasons :
1. Many say (and I also observed) that many professional photographers use either a Nikon or a Canon.
2. Olympus has a small sensor than that of a Nikon or a Canon.
3. I asked a question here at Yahoo! Answers and most of them suggested a Nikon (either a D40 or a D60).
They were right. I’m very happy with my D60. I’m not yet done learning its features but I’m getting to like it better each time I use it.

Olympus can take Tamron and Sigma lenses as well since both companies make some. Now, if I had the choice, I would go D60. The 4/3 is not bad but first, the sensor is smaller, the format is not ideal except for TV or 4×3 screens on PC, then the AF system is not as performant. The D60 has a primitive 3 point AF, but I never found a situation where it failed or did bad. One can not say as much from the Olympus …

D60 is a great choice. It is very easy to use and provides excellent images without requiring a lot of technical knowledge.The images with D60 are better and sharper.
