As a professional photographer for thirty-seven years, I have had many cameras. I have bought and regretted electronic cameras over the years and now they are worthless junk! The first cameras I ever owned are still going strong and now in the hands of my daughter Caroline. Almost two years ago I hesitantly agreed to shoot my sisters wedding. I say hesitently, because with film, if anything goes wrong... wel, you get the idea. So this was the perfect opportunity to go digital. It took about a day to sift through all of the information and I setled on the Olympus Evolt E-500. It is easy to use,... read full review »

My husband bought me this for Christmas last year and I love it. Last year I had absolutely no clue what I was doing, but after sitting and reading through the manual that came with it I slowly learned what each thing did and how to go about taking good pictures.

The lenses that come with it are okay, but I'm itching for a 50mm lens for portrait work. It's a strong, sturdy camera. I've had no issues at all with dust on the lens. I love it!

Would definitely recommend to an amateur digital photographer looking to get into the world of the DSLR's

I have had my olympus for about a year now and I just really cant come up with anything bad to say about it.

This camera was my first D-SLR and it replaced my olympus OM-10

This is the first digital camera that I have used that actually can compare with the quality of the 35mm om-10

The first photo is from my E-500.

the second, (black & white) from my 35mm

you be the judge.

There will be more updates to come
