Olympus E-500 Review at DPReview
DPReview 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.
“Pick up the E-500 and it feels immediately familiar, good ergonomics, a comfortable hand grip and a ‘normal’ pentaprism viewfinder mean that although its a whole new mount/sensor system it feels like a traditional SLR (and that’s really important). The more traditional body feels stiffer and better put together than that of the E-300. The E-500 is the lightest (body only) digital SLR available at the moment, but not the smallest, and honestly that’s not a bad thing. The EOS 350D (Digital Rebel XT) is just a little too small, mostly lost to the hand grip which can feel thin and cramped. The E-500 has clearly been designed by people who really go out and use the cameras.”
