Basically, as far as I can tell, the differences are the shape of the body,
the IS on the E-510, and the E-510 using the same batteries as the rest of
the E-series bodies, while, presumably, the E-410 does not. OTOH, the E-410
will fit in the underwater housing, while the E-510 apparently will not.
I would expect the E-510's bigger battery will last longer than the E-410's,
but that answer will probably have to await someone running real-world
tests.
