I adore my Olympus E-500 Camera! I purchased this because I wanted something other than a Nikon which is what everyone seems to have. The price of the Olympus E-500 at the time was also a little more affordable for my budget than a comparable Nikon. The Olympus E-500 is great for both beginners and for more advanced photographers. It is easy to use on the manual setting as well as the automatic setting. It comes with various preset settings as well that you can choose from a simple turn of a knob. Settings such as portrait, scenery, macro, action and night portrait. When I purchased this it came...

The Olympus E-500 digital SLR camera is an excellant camera for the beginner and the novice.  Although it is classified as an entry level camera it has a lot of features the higher priced cameras have.

The E-500 has dual media slots for storage of your digital pictures, the camera uses the Olympus XD card, and the compact flash card.  The compact flash card will store shots a lot faster than the XD.

Olympus has been at the front of a lot of digital camera inovations.  Olympus designed the first camera with a self cleaning sensor, in fact the E-500 was one of the first to have that feature. ...

This was my first DSLR, I now also own the E510 and someday will buy the E3. After upgrading to the E510 I realized  that I like the E500 8 megapixel sensor better. It seems the photo sites on the  8 meg camera are larger thereby giving the 8 meg E500 more sensor  area then my new 10 meg E510. This goes to prove that you can't go by megapixel count alone. Someone mentioned that the lenses for the Olympus were expensive well remember that the anti shake is built into many Olympus Cameras so you don't have to pay for that with each lens like you do with the competitors. With Canon you have to... review »

If you are just getting into digital photography and learning how to use an SLR, the E-500 camera is a great investment. You have your choice of information that can be shown on the LCD screen (full info, just the basic info, or info off) so that you aren't inundated with information you may not need. The lenses use the four-thirds mount, so there are a lot of lens options out there from third parties. You can use either compact flash or sd memory cards with the camera. The dust reduction feature has proved useful, and it's able to be turned off if you prefer a speedier start-up over clarity....
