Over on dpreview, there are several threads stating various 
"softness/poor focus" problems with the E-510, with about an equal 
number of E-510 owners expressing surprise that there are problems with 
the camera, especially since they've got their own E-1s (or E-400s) to 
compare the output to.

It's starting to sound like there are a significant number of lemons in 
the first batch of E-510s to roll off the line, and that's not good -- 
problems like that can really sully the reputation of what could 
otherwise be a fine camera.

Perhaps taking it back and exchanging it might solve the problem.  I'm 
certainly glad to hear that some owners are impressed by the output -- 
that tells me that, if I buy one and it's a dog, I *might* be able to 
improve my chances simply by exchanging it.  If *everybody* had 
complained, then I'd be suspecting that the E-510 is simply a bad design 
overall.

Or mebbe I should just get a 5D for now...
