Held at DXO at the Esplanade, the launch of the new cameras saw Olympus spokespersons demonstrating the abilities and features of the E-510 and the E-410 to an avid crowd. As probably the only dSLRs that do not require the photographer to keep his eye on the eyepiece for every picture, the ability to frame shots on an LCD screen must be a great boon to the work of photographers when shooting difficult angles. To illustrate this, Olympus invited two Singapore-based photographers, Kim Lau and Kerstin Duell, to share their views on their experience with the new cameras.
The E-410 is now available in Asia and in Singapore, it will be retailing at the price of S$1,299 with a 2GB CF card bundled in. The E-510 will be launched in Asia by end May.
