I believe E-510 is a capable camera, I had the E-520, I was happy with
the ISO performance and color but the AF problem and small viewfinder turn
me away. Generally, Olympus digital has better color out of the shot, many
people here choose it because of that reason but the color of  your
Christmas shot seems a bit off on my monitor, see if you like this
one better:
