 excellent camera from a nikon user. September 1, 2010
James L. (usa)
My previous slr experience started with nikon, upgraded to dslr to still nikon and currently still use nikon. However, i do have some pentax and minolta slr's that were gathering dust. Rather than tag sale them away, i got this olympus second hand from a local craigslist ad. The lenses from my pentax and minolta does not fit my nikon without the use of an adapter that has some glass on it which degrades the image by a lot. the olympus does and meters well. I use the kit lens and was surprise it held up well against my nikon, i was surprise ba a ton when i started putting on my old takumar and rokkor lenses and how the images swept my feet. the prime lenses easily beat out the kit lens from nikon on the computer screen and after had it develop at my local costco, i was stunned of how the images were sharp and contrasty. i therfore conclude this camera was a steal and will continue to use it. it has currently seen more action than my nikon. i do bring nikon when i need to autofocus quickly and take snapshots. i would rate this 5 stars.
 Don't buy it August 20, 2010

The battery life is short, the auto focus barely works in low light and recently the wide angle lens can't be focused at all because a part fell off inside the lens. Olympus won't do anything for me since it's out of warrenty. Poor workmanship and worse customer service. I guess they'd rather lose a lifelong customer than give me a new lens or a free repair that would probably cost them less than $50. I wish I had bought the Nikon or Canon. This was my third and last Olympus camera. The software was also awful. I installed it, tried it, then deleted it.
A Classic from Olympus ! November 19, 2009
Francisco Salazar (MARACAY, ARAGUA Venezuela)
This was my first digital SLR, and it's a great camera, olympus gives you a lot of advanced options even in their entry level models, build quality it's a lot better than the equivalent canon or nikon offers, also zuiko lens are among the best on the market, even the kit lens are great, you can't say that about the other camera brands ;), i also have the newer e520 wich it's really cool to use with old manual OM zuiko lens with the liveview feature , but i think the Kodak sensor in the e500 it's far superior at lower isos, better colours and overall dinamyc range .
Got more than expected November 1, 2009
Robert Smith (Auburn, WA USA)
I needed a backup camera body for my existing system because I am going to be a photographer for a group of about 100 people going on a cruise. I placed the order with some concern. Would the pre-owned product operate properly and arrive on time (or at all)? As soon as the body arrived I compared all its functions to my existing camera body. I now have them both organized identically, so that I can switch between camera bodies instantly and not miss a beat. The camera delivers as expected. In addition, there were some extras: The body came with storage media and an OEM battery, something I didn't expect. In addition, it came with an OEM battery charger! That was a pleasant surprise. I would trust this seller for any future purchases.
 Very capable E-500 June 26, 2009
Paul Porter (New Orleans)
The E-500 has been a great camera for me overall. It is easy to use and controls are well placed. It is of comfortable size and fairly light in weight even with a zoom lens on. While the camera is light in weight the materials used do not feel cheap and it fits well in your hand(I have big hands) while in use. Auto focus works well in the conditions I have used it. Images are well exposed and color reproduction has been very realistic. 8 MP is fine for my uses and the "truth be told" enough for most people. Battery life has been excellent as well. Cons-doesn't have Live view and the view finder is on the on the smallish side.
