Key Advantages

The Olympus D-510 provides solid image quality for its time with a 2.1 megapixel sensor suitable for moderate resolution prints. Its 3x optical zoom lens offers flexibility in framing and subjects. The inclusion of an electronic viewfinder facilitates composing shots without reliance on the LCD screen alone. Use of CompactFlash storage cards allowed for removable and reusable media, increasing convenience. The camera supports both automatic and manual shooting modes catering to beginner and intermediate users. Its construction is rugged and compact, making it travel-friendly and durable.

Limitations

The resolution of 2.1 megapixels is limited by modern standards, resulting in lower image detail. The camera uses relatively slow writing speeds with CompactFlash Type I which can affect workflow speed. Its lens aperture range and zoom speed are limited compared to more modern cameras. The LCD screen and EVF have low resolution and small size, making image review less comfortable. Battery reliance on AA cells reduces battery life and adds weight. ISO sensitivity options are limited, affecting performance in low light conditions.
