Comments:
With a street price close to $1,000 this Olympus camera will win many friends, equipped with its near 3x zoom kit lens and imaging to an eight megapixel CCD. The maximum image size is 3264 x 2448 pixels, leading to a print measuring 37 x 28 cm

Review Verdict: When heading for the store, cash or card in hand, be prepared to bargain, with the likelihood that you can win the E-500 plus a larger memory card and maybe another lens ? and still be looking at less than $1,400

The E-500 looks like the camera the E-300 should have been all along

Review Verdict: If you want to retain some shadow or highlight detail in these areas, you'll need to apply a degree of exposure compensation first. For example, to just retain detail in a bright sky, you might set the EV compensation to -0.3EV or -0.7EV before using the

Comments:
Digital photography and I go way back. My first digicam was the Apple QuickTake, a VGA affair that looked more like an underwater exploration pod than a camera. Needless to say 1) I've been using these things for a long time 2) I had film SLR cameras for

Review Verdict: Good times for dSLR shoppers. It's really hard to go wrong with any of the intro offerings from Olympus, Canon, Nikon or Pentax. The EVOLT E-500 does give a lot of bang for the buck, especially if you go with the 2 lens bundle. It has some of the most use

QuickTake:

Pros: Excellent resolution, great color (accurate and vivid), Supersonic Wave Filter keeps the sensor clean, pretty fast continuous shot mode, lightweight and compact yet still has substance.
Cons: Viewfinder is small. 4/3 might be a put-off for traditionalists. Shots over ISO 400 aren't great. Startup time isn't instant (even when automatic sensor cleaning is disabled).
