The Olympus E-510 (or Olympus EVOLT E-510 in North America) is a 10 megapixel digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera oriented to the "prosumer" or "hobbyist" market. Announced in March 2007 to succeed the E-500, it adds in-body image stabilisation, a live preview function, and a new "Olympus TruePic III" processing chip that is claimed to provide better performance.

The E-510 uses Olympus' patented Supersonic Wave Filter dust reduction system to shake dust from the sensor during startup and when requested by the user; this largely eliminates the problem of dust accumulation on the surface of the image sensor.

The E-510 body and lens mount conform to the "Four Thirds System" standard, providing compatibility with other lenses for that system. (Four Thirds System lenses are claimed to be smaller and lighter than lenses with similar specifications from other DSLR systems.)
