Olympus E-510 (EVOLT E-510)
The Olympus E-510 (EVOLT E-510 in North American markets) is a Four Thirds digital SLR introduced in 2007. It was positioned as a mid-range enthusiast body, sitting above the entry-level E-410 in the same generation.
Sales data for the E-510 is thin: a single UK auction hammer result from April 2025 at £62, which is a wholesale saleroom level rather than a retail asking price. On that limited evidence the camera is worth a modest sum today, and what it sells for in 2026 will hinge heavily on whether a working kit lens and battery are included.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher. How this figure is calculated.

Frequently asked questions
What is an Olympus E-510 worth in the UK today?
On the available data a body sold for £62 at UK auction in April 2025, so current value sits around that level with condition and included accessories driving any premium.
How much does an Olympus EVOLT E-510 sell for at auction?
The one verified hammer price in our records is £62, but with only a single sale the figure should be treated as indicative rather than a firm market price.
Is the Olympus E-510 the same as the EVOLT E-510?
Yes — EVOLT was the North American naming used by Olympus for this model, and the camera itself is identical to the E-510 sold in the UK and Europe.
