Olympus E-500 Review at DCViews
DCViews 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.
“But despite all the extra functions and gadgets does the E-500 deliver the goods? After our complaints about the exposure system of the E-300 in February, we were really curious to see if the new camera possessed the same erratic behaviour with dark or light areas in the central area of the frame. We are pleased to say that the E-500 showed none of these characteristics and delivered constant and well balanced exposures all the time. The 49-segment ESP metering system worked as it should do. And also centre weighted and spot metering delivered consistent results as could be expected from a class camera like this one.”
