Consumer Feedback

"Welcome to Professional Digital Photography at a reasonable entry level price. The Olympus E-500 combined with the FL-50 flash has all the features that anyone, pro or amateur, would want per a high quality digital SLR. The only feature missing is a Titanium housing, but at this price, you could buy six E-500s before getting into the Titanium market per Digital SLRs."

"For serious photographers, this camera gives you total manual control that provides overrides for every possible setting to ensure you realize your full creative needs (just as with any professional 35mm or digital SLR). The automatic settings for focus and exposure are outstanding as well. There are several program modes for various types of shooting and a user program mode where you can essentially make your specific manual settings an automatic set-up."

"I just upgraded from a point and shoot Sony DSC P8. Had a few thousand photos on my hard disk and then decided to upgrade to something more pro. After a lot of research finally decided to pickup the Evolt E500 with the dual lens kit.. and I should say I am rather impressed. The sharpness and depth of pictures are amazing. Very crisp, vibrant photos. The anti-dust feature is cool and helps keep the sensor clean."
