Olympus E-510 video tour

We're pleased to present a short video tour of the Olympus E-510 - one of the most feature-packed DSLRs around right now. This video discusses the E-510's size and design and demonstrates its screen, controls, Live View and the new Image Stabilisation facilities. There's no need to download any new software - just press the play button in the middle of the screen below and wait for the video to start; you may need to press the button twice. The quality and any delay before playing may vary depending on your internet connection.
