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...

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.

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... |
