Noise looks pretty well controlled on the 800 & 1600 ISO samples. Of course,the light looks pretty decent so we will have to wait for some longer exposure times.

I would like to know what the prices are for these cameras? And are they going to sell them in a 2 lens kit like the e-500?

I figured that is about what the prices would be at. I just dont see a reason for me to get the 510 then. I will be getting the e500 kit soon, I Hope.
