    Is there a Battery Holder for the 510?

    I currently own two E300s and need an upgrade asap. Due to cost constraints I'm going to more than likely end up with the 510.

    All of my lenses, cards and batteries are still compatible. What I cannot find any information on is the battery holder - something of extreme importance to me!!

    I currently have the HLD-3, and I know that the E3 takes the HLD-4.

    Does anyone have any idea about whether or not the 510 even HAS a battery holder?

    HELP!

    If you are wanting a battery grip, check the link and yes everything will work on the 510. The second link is to the Olympus site. The battery holder should work with all evolt cameras except the 400 and 410. I currently own a 510 and am very happy with it. The image stabilization works well.

    I am waiting on the Battery grip from Gadget infinity to arrive soon as I ordered it just a few weeks ago (my mother-in-law got it for me to x-mas =) ) If you want to wait for my feelings on it and how well it works I'll write up about it as soon as I give it a whirl. It seems to be the only one on the market at the moment and I have been desperately waiting for ANYONE to make one since I bought my E500. Now that I have the 510 it seems it wil be easier to use as I don't have to depend on the IR remote sensor as the 510 connects to the cameras data port to allow full functionality.
