DCResource have reviewed the Olympus E-500, an 8 megapixel DSLR with a 2.5 inch LCD screen in a body with a classic penta-prism design.

“Camera performance was excellent in nearly all areas. The camera focuses quickly, there’s minimal shutter lag, and shot-to-shot and playback delays are minimal. In low light situations you’ll want to pop up the flash, as it greatly aids in focusing. The only areas in which the E-500 falls short are startup time and continuous shooting. As I mentioned, the slightly long startup time is the trade-off for having a dust-free CCD—which I think most people won’t have a problem with. The continuous shooting mode limits you to four or five shots in row before the buffer is full—the Canon Rebel XT and Nikon D50 both perform better in this area.”
