Olympus E-500 Review at Steves Digicams
DIWA member Steves Digicams 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.
“The E-500’s 8-megapixel imager offers plenty of resolution, an advantage over its 6-megapixel competitors both for producing large prints and high-quality cropped images. The E-500’s results were well-exposed, and color reproduction was realistic. The E-500’s image quality was very good at ISO 100 and 200. At higher ISO’s, noise becomes evident; while 400 is very usable, noise becomes evident in shadow and midtone areas at ISO 800, and there’s noise throughout the image at ISO 1600 as well as very noticeable reduction in image detail.”
