Olympus E500 Kit DSLR with 14-45mm lens [equiv. 28-90mm] [8MP]

Easy to use a great all round bit of kit you will need to get some lenses for different applications but point and snap is first class this is my second purchase of this item unfortunately my first it on koh samui with my wife and I'm not allowed to go get it.

I received this in good time and it was in its box and well packed. I'm only disappointed because this particular camera doesn't show the picture you are taking on the viewing window like other DSLR cameras. Otherwise it's great.

I had one of these from new and having to take photographs for my employment i found it ideal to have a second identicle camera as all the lenses etc fit so if I get a camera failure i have a back up

Takes great pictures and has more features than I will probably use. On the downside, it was a nasty shock to discover that you can't frame a picture using the LCD screen - you take pictures using the viewfinder only I'm afraid. The LCD screen is only to review pictures and adjust settings. For that reason only, I mark it down as being less useable than most alternatives.Call me old fashioned, but it would have been nice to know this fairly major limitation before shelling out the readies. I guess there's no law saying that manufacturers should describe what a camera won't do.

Purchased for my brother in perfect condition if no fingerprints on screen it would be regarded has brand new new would not be ant better

Suitable replacement for my original which had stopped working properly

really awesome starter camera and very cheap. who needs more than 8mp when your screen cant see any more pixels?

I bought this camera as an upgrade from my reliable Olympus C765UZ which was starting to have it's limitations. I have found the E-500 very easy to use, already using an olympus digital compact has helped as I am familiar with the menu format and the symbols used on the body of the camera. Optically it is very good, giving clear sharp images and the use of the RAW format will give avid photoshop users hours of fun. I am using the camera for mainly wildlife & landscape photos at the moment and I have not been disappointed. Like all new products it will take time to learn fully but with digital cameras the auto function takes care of most of the brain taxing functions. I do have one slight gripe, when using the auto setting it will use the flash rather than adjust the aperture or shutter speed to compensate for lower light levels even when the focus is so far away that the flash will have no benefit; but when you find it in the menus you can disable the flash. For the money you pay you get an awful lot of camera, all of the professional reviews have given it a good rating and as a first step into Digital SLR photography it makes a sensible choice. Just don't forget to include the cost of memory cards into your budget, the E-500 takes both the usual olympus XD storage cards and compact flash cards in two slots so you can run both at the same time. With both cards used this will give you a maximum of around 5Gb storage if you spend the money on the storage cards. I am currently just using my 1Gb XD card which gives me 74 RAW format images yet I am sure that for most people using the SHQ or HQ setting will be quality enough and give you enough shots for your holidays. If you choose this camera you will not be dissapointed, it is easy to use and very light - the lens being most of the weight. A great choice - but I would say that I own one!!
