It might seem obvious why the Olympus E-510 is one of our favorite DSLRs this season, what with stellar image quality, fast processing speeds, and 10-megapixel prints sure to look amazing on your wall. But the real beauty is in the details. This sharp shooter comes with both wide-angle and telephoto lenses, dual CF and xD card slots, a dust-shedding image sensor that tilts to counter hand shake, and a 2.5-inch LCD that's aces for framing the action without the hassle of having to squint through the optical viewfinder.
