I'm very interested to see the first official reviews. The 510 sounds great.

[Riley]

well its not the kodak sensor anymore
and a new image processing engine
what is said to be the fastest focussing lenses
in body IS is good for older lenses too
lots of stuff to find out how true it is etc

The 510 sounds nice. Can't wait for Pop Photo to do a full test on it and compare it to the other 10mp out there. I love that they put the IS onboard so you can keep your current lens and have IS. Now I have to figure out where to find $800 and convince the wife that it is "Necessary"
