Perhaps a camera those who come from a 35mm background would fall in love with, mainly because they are used to making decisions that the modern digital photographer either does not make or does not have to make. However the Auto mode is there but it...

The Olympus E-500 has 8Mp quality, matching the best budget digital SLRs and a unique approach to combating dust on the sensor. Some may not like the motorised manual focusing, but few will complain about a body and two lenses for £675. Its great val...

A camera for the serious shutterbug on a shoestring, this packs in a host of features and an excellent 14-45mm lens. The body is a bit small, which makes for a scramble round the back to squeeze on all the controls and 2.5-inch screen. Few concession...

The pro-level E-1 SLR was the first Four Thirds camera from any manufacturer, and good though it is, its 5-megapixel resolution was always going to be a perceived drawback. The E-300 followed, with an 8-megapixel sensor and a decent entry-level price p...

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.

Dual card format. Compact and relatively light camera.
Some may want more than 8 megapixels.

Olympus gave four features top priority when developing the E-500. These are maximum image quality, a sensor cleaning system that ousts dust from the CCD without the need to tinker under the bonnet (or take the...

Lightweight and easy to use, excellent image quality, comprehensive control options.
Styling is a bit on the chunky side.
The E-500 is packed with kit too much to go over in detail here. Suffice to say, this is as comprehensively specified D-SLR as you’re likely to want (or need) and at £600 (for the standard kit that includes the 14-45mm lens used in the test) it’s gre...

Feature-filled - and takes nice pics, too. The eight-megapixel Olympus Evolt E-500 is a comfortable and reasonably light digital SLR camera with high-quality lenses that produce equally high-quality images, making it a top contender in its class...

Comfortable. Fast shot-to-shot times. Excellent lens quality. Accurate flesh tones.
Slightly small viewfinder. Memory card not included. Sequential shooting speed could be faster.
If you havent accumulated a bunch of lenses that dictate buying another brand, the E-500 has all the features youll ever need, plus some that its competitors dont have. The E-500 is a quality camera. The Evolt E-500s standard lens yields razor-s...

The E-500s body is made of a metal chassis dressed in a tough, black polycarbonate body with a rubber-surfaced grip on the front of the body. The top side of the grip area supports 5 separate controls. First, angled forwards and slightly to the right...

Unlike other Olympus digital SLR cameras to date, the Olympus E-500 has a much more traditional design than the last dSLR Olympus introduced, the E300. Another in a series of Four Thirds system cameras, the E-500 uses a CCD with 4:3 proportions and a l...

Announced in September 2005, the E-500 was the third E-Series digital SLR from Olympus; the fourth, the E-330 was announced in January 2006. The E-500 offers 8 Mpixel resolution and employs a FourThirds mount which can accommodate an increasing rang...

The Olympus E-500 is a mixed bag with plenty of things going for it, but equally a number of aspects which could be considered deal-breakers by some photographers. Highlights of course include the SSWF anti-dust system, an impressively high level of in...

Large, clear 2.5-inch LCD. Supports a variety of shooting formats, even multiple formats simultaneously.
Controls could be better organized. Image quality could be better. Weak burst mode.

The E-500 EVOLT was announced on 26th September 2005, almost exactly a year after the E-300 which was the first affordable Four Thirds System digital SLR. The E-500 features an eight megapixel Kodak 4/3 Type CCD sensor, a Four Thirds System lens mount...

Good resolution, very little difference to the EOS 350D (although not as crisp), Good color, contrasty images with out-of-the-camera appeal (selectable Picture Modes), Low noise levels up to ISO 400, usable ISO 800 (image much softer at ISO 1600), New hig...
Very small viewfinder view (difficult to see fine detail, difficult to check focus), Recommended sensitivity ISO 100 - 400, images at ISO 800 usable, ISO 1600 not really, Not instant startup (1.7 sec) even longer in its out-of-the-box configuration, Occas...
When the E-500 was announced in September this year the reception was noticeably more positive than for the E-300. The E-300s primary problems were its unusual design/layout and (as soon as reviews arrived) pretty average high ISO performance. It had...
