I bought this camera a few months ago, having decided to step into the world of digital SLR’s. After a bit of research I settled on the Olympus Evolt E500 for a couple of reasons. First, I’ve always had either Olympus or Minolta equipment and never had major issue with either of them, so I’m partial to those products. The E500 however, is an entry level camera and at the time the other model Olympus offered was the E1, their professional model. I’m no professional photographer, I wouldn’t even consider myself an amateur, but I wanted a nice setup and my point and shoots just weren’t doing it for me, but I didn’t want to spend a small fortune for something I might not be able to use. I bought the popular kit that comes with the E500 and two lenses, a 14-45mm f/3.5-5.6 lens and a 40-150mm f/3.5-4.5 Zuiko lens. It offers an 8 megapixel resolution, 2.5″ HyperCrystal LCD, Sonic Wave Filter, TruePic Turbo Image Processor, Pop-up flash, fifteen scene modes and full exposure control. Plus it’s compatible with both an xD-Picture Card and CompactFlash card.
