Brian,

When I was searching for a DSLR, the E-410 had just come out and was all the 
rave of the day.  I considered it, but, after reading comments on the limits 
of its grip, I chose the E-510 and have been happy with it. It fits my hands 
just fine. I started out with the DZ 14-54 lens, which is a great lens.  I 
have also been using my Pentax Takumars with an adapter, and I am awaiting 
the arrival of a Leica-R 28/2.8 Elmarit for use as a "normal" manual lens. 
To me, the E-510 offers a lot of options and delivers nice images
