E-510.......2007-12-26

Before I bought this camera, I searched the web for equivalent products. I was slightly biased in that I already owned a Olympus camera (E-300). However, what I was looking for was a camera that had 10 or more mega pixels, and had image stabilization as I planned to use it for nature photography; animals don't stand still. Light weight was not a as important but nice to have.
This camera met all of my expectations. The image stabilization works quite well. I had one surprise; the lenses were also lighter than their predecessors. I highly recommend this camera.

Excellent camera meets professional needs........2007-12-24

I waited a long time before switching from a 35mm film SLR Canon camera to a digital. I asked many photographers, read online reviews, and browsed through many magazine articles. Then I spoke with Keith Lazelle, a superb nature photographer from Washington State, and he told me he switched from film to digital with an Olympus Evolt 500, because he was then able to use his other Olympus lenses with an adapter. I figured if it was good enough for such an excellent photographer, it would be good enough for me! I have not been disappointed.

The Evolt 500 with its 2 lenses are more than enough for my needs. I love to take spontaneous shots of wildlife and waterways, and this camera has been an absolute delight. It took me a while on the learning curve for all the digital stuff (and I'm still learning), but overall it is very easy to use, and images turn out very sharp.

I live in the Pacific Northwest and have been in the field photographing under plenty of rain and cold weather - and while I always have an extended hood on the lens to protect it from rain drops, I am not always successful in protecting the entire camera. I have never had any moisture/condensation problems.

I highly recommend this camera to anyone either beginning to use a digital SLR or to a professional.

Excellent machine!.......2007-12-24

I've had this camera for just over a month and have just started to scratch the surface of learning what this baby can do! I am very impressed with the quality of the body and the kit lenses that came with it are awesome, giving me everything from an 28mm wide angle to 300mm long lens, with incredible macro capability from each. I had been using 35mm for many years up until I went digital 7 years ago, and this camera by far is the best I've ever owned. I agree with other reviews I have read, the camera has difficulty in low light with the auto focus function, but this is easily fixed by using the manual focus function, easily accessable through the display on the back. I did extensive research on DSLR's before purchasing, the Olympus had the best features, especially being able to use the rear display for live framing, which no other DSLR offers. I have been an amateur photographer for 40+ years and highly recommend this camera!

The live-view and image stabilization features are really helpful. For the price, it is a value for money deal.

Olympus Evolt E-410: A Great Compact DSLR Camera .......2007-12-26

I received this camera as a combination Birthday and Christmas Gift, and have been amazed at the quality of images that this compact, easy to use Digital SLR is capable of producing. I have attached some sample photos to this product page to show some examples of the clarity and resolution the E-410 is capable of achieving using the two lenses which are provided in this kit. In addition to being very user friendly, this model boasts 20 different scene modes which quickly allow the first time user to achieve excellent results under a variety of shooting situations.

Highly recommended to anyone looking for a lightweight, compact DSLR with a Live View LCD and all the features needed by both novice and experienced photographers.

A great lightweight SLR.......2007-12-21

The E410 is my first digital SLR, and in the 6 months I've had it, I've been tremendously happy with it. Olympus has crammed a good deal of power into a compact body. The kit lenses are a bit slow but turn out outstanding images given enough light. The body fits in the hand very well, the controls are well-placed, and the onscreen controls and menus are well organized, so you never get bogged down hunting for what you want.

So why only three stars? One, because of the limited (but improving) selection of fourthirds lenses, but mostly because new buyers, unless they need to shave every ounce, would do well to look at the E510. The "big brother" of the E410 is only a little larger, takes Olympus's standard, higher-capacity BLM-1 battery, and features in-body image stabilization that works with any fourthirds lens, greatly reducing blur in handheld shooting. For those who understand the 410's limits and want the world's lightest DSLR, I'd recommend it wholeheartedly.

Olympus E-410: An Excellent Entry Level DSLR.......2007-12-02

As a person who was a serious SLR film enthusiast about 27yrs. ago with a Cannon A1, I decided, after purchasing a good quality digital point and shoot camera a couple of years ago, to get back into photography, but this time digital photography. So, after reading about several new DSLR cameras this past summer, I decided to buy the Olympus E-410 a couple of months ago. The important factors were its compact size, cost, self-cleaning sensor, live view LCD, and ease of use. After two months and about 700+ pictures, I can happily say that this camera is serving its purpose in introducing me to the wonderful world of DSLR photography. In my opinion, one of its strengths is its solid build despite its light weight. The buttons and dials feel good and you're unlikely to accidently change a setting. There is one weakness in the E-410 which deals with backlighting without the use of flash. The only way of correcting it is by going to the EV compensation with a +2/3 or +3/3(this equals 1 f stop), or the manual mode with a +1 f stop exposure. With most cameras, you can simply point and focus on the darker area and press the shutter halfway and you'll see the camera making the appropriate adjustments.

In regards to the two lenses that come with the E-410, I really appreciate the performance of the 14-42mm lense. I've taken many excellent close up pictures of flowers with it. Sigma, however, does have a better and faster, but more expensive, f:2.8 18-50mm lense. The 40-150mm lense is nice to have due to its light weight and compact size, but you may want to get the Zuiko(Olympus) f:2.8-3.5 50-200mm lense later on when you can afford it because it's also somewhat more expensive. Overall, the lense kit is good. Right now, I'm now starting to work with RAW format pictures using this excellent camera. Of course, there are other good entry level DSLR cameras such as the Nikon D80, Sony A100, and the Cannon Rebel, but the E-410 had the package that suited me. I highly recommend it! Which ever camera you decide is right for you, make sure you read up on it, ask questions, and enjoy the beautiful world of digital photography.

really a great mini slr.......2007-09-18

I've had this unit a few weeks...and it seems to preform fine...good quality images....I did turn exposure comp to + 1/3 and noise filter to LOW and
Noise Reduct to off....and as far as the 4/3 system...I go to Wolf/Ritz Camera and get their 4 1/2 x 6 in print...it's full frame for 4/3 system..I also have 2 canon 20D's so this is not my 1st slr...I would say this is a great value...and the telephoto lens is very compact

Thrilled with my e-410.......2007-09-17

I am appreciating this camera more every day. Last weekend I took it to a wedding, and in fact I had the smallest SLR at the entire party. It made it easy for me to carry it and take shots the entire day. Also the battery performance was very good (I took more than 150 pictures and the battery was still far from empty).

I bought this camera for traveling, size and weight was an important consideration and I really like the camera for this. I take it everywhere.

It has all the advantages of an SLR (manual controls, seeing through the lens, interchangeable lenses), with the portability of a compact camera. Your hands should not be too big, if they are you would probably be better off with the e-510.

The 40-150 lens included in the kit is very light and portable and produces some excellent quality shots.
I like the performance of the camera, it has fast startup and excellent shutter performance.

The live view mode as advertised is not that useful, mainly because of the latency when pressing the shutter button. I hardly use the feature.

My previous camera was a compact camera (Canon Powershot S50). It took me some time to get used to the e-410 (being a SLR camera) and to learn how to use all its features.

Great for basic enthusiasts.......2007-12-27

This entry-level olympus is perfect for my small hands and for taking fantastic photos. It's super fast and offers more features than I really need, but is priced well below the nikon and canon base models. My only gripe is that the flash in low light on auto focus is kind of ridiculous -- it'll shoot out fast strobes for more than 10 seconds before settling into the shot. There's probably a setting that addresses this that I'm just not yet familiar with.

nice little camera.......2007-09-10

Very nice camera well built and extensive set of features too. I did not expect the live view feature to be so handy and useful. It is very easy to use, with all switches in the right places.
the E410 is for armature and pro alike so its excellent entry level DSLR. With Panasonic and lieca adopting their four third system, the future is bright.
Drawback of that system Chinese made and the AF only three (comparing to 9 in canon 400D)
If you can pay little extra, go for the E510 its even better

Surely the best digital SLR system.......2007-08-11

I am very impressed with this digital SLR. For years I used Olympus OM series film cameras with satsfaction. As digital camera image quality improved, I decided to go digital and have tried Nikon, Canon and Fuji SLRs. All were bulky and heavy, showing their heritage as modified designs for 35mm film adapted for use with smaller digital sensors.

Having design their E-series as digital from the outset, Olympus seem to me to have far superior handling qualities. Carrying an E-410 all day is far preferrable to any of the rival makers models I bought. I first used an E-400, and agreed with the reviews which found images taken at high ISO "filmspeed" settings somewhat noisy. This problem is resolved in the E-410 which uses a different sensor. Another improvement is in the autofucussing which is again, much improved.

As well as the conventional SLR viewfinder, the E-410 gives one the option of composing shots in the LCD screen on the camera back as a "live preview". It would be great if this worked as quickly as on a pocket digital camera, but there is in fact quite a delay between pressing the shutter release and the image being focussed and captured. Notwishtanding this, I have found the live preview invaluable for macro work and I would hate to be without it now.

Another good feature of the recent E-series models is the "supersonic wave filter for dust reduction". Unlike film SLR cameras, digital ones can be ruined by dust on the sensor introduced when lenses are changed. Nikon offers sofware which maps and then cancels out the specks - sounds like a rubbish "solution"! Olympus and Canon offer sonic systems which shake the sensor at start up to keep dust away. I'm ultra cautious when changing lenses, but I'm greatly reassured by reviews which suggest that the Olympus system really can be effective.

Finally Olympus seem to be developing a truly comprehensive system with a great (if expensive) selection of lenses and flash units. For clinical medical and dental photography they have an excellent 50mm (equivalent to 100mm in a 35mm format camera) macro lens which can also capture potraits or full body views. This can be coupled to a ring flash or twin macro flash with TTL metering and capable of taking perfectly exposed images straight out of the box. The only weak part of the system is the flash ring FR-1 needed to couple the flash head to the lens. I have bought three of these, and all three have broken in normal use!

The problem with the FR-1 is that the front element of it is held on to the main body by three TINY screws which just aren't up to the job. As I needed to keep working in three different centres I didn't return the units (what would be the point in exchanging one badly designed bit of kit for an identical one anyway). My solution is to permanently glue the front to the main body with Araldite. I hope that this shockingly poor piece of design isn't indicative of other problems elsewhere in the range.

Great product and kit is well priced but consider future costs.......2007-11-30

This is my first SLR, and am happy with the purchase. Note that the Zuiko lens collection is somewhat limited and therefore are sold at premium prices compared to more established brands (Canon, Nikon). If basic camera will do, this is fine for a starters.

Fun & Capable DSLR at Point & Shoot Price .......2007-11-13

A new camera won't make you a better photographer, but taking more pictures might, and that's where the E-330 shines. It's rewarding to use and the tilting LCD with live view encourages experimentation.
The E-330 feels solid and all the buttons are well-placed. Image quality is generally excellent, although there are better cameras for low-light, flashless photography. Focus, frame rate and overall performance is plenty fast for action at my son's soccer games, but USB file transfer is slow so get an external card reader.
Do not underestimate the usefulness of dual-mode live view on a tilting LCD. You won't think it's a gimmick once you have it. Also, the E-330's built-in flash can be used for fill-in with a shoe-mounted flash; another feature that's proven to be much more useful than expected.

Amazing camera in an amazing price!.......2007-09-10

I have an Olympus E-1 for a couple years. Wonderful camera with excellent built and image quality but lack a built-in flash. Then noticed this E-330 has an amazing price drop recently, so I cannot resist and bought one. I was worried that it is too small for my hand because I like a bigger camera. When I received the camera I felt it to be a perfect fit to my hand. Doesn't like the Nikon D40X and Canon XTi that my pinkie hanging freely under the camera. Built quality is great. I love the Live-view and the built-in flash. An extra bonus is you can attach an external flash unit and can still use the built-in flash together. It is a great feature if you like to use bounce flash. The results are just beautiful. I think the E330 is a perfect match with the E-1. They cannot replace for one an other. I enjoy both.
The E-330 is a wonderful camera to own. With the recent price drop, it is a super buy. Get one before it's too late!

AMAZING camera sold by an amazing company!.......2007-09-03

This is by FAR the best online seller I've EVER dealt with. These guys were there to help me every step of the way and I eventually went back to them and bought a bunch of accessories and an additional lense. Enzo is the best sales rep ever! If you deal with Cameta Camera, ask for him!

Good luck with all your buying ventures, it was a pleasure!

Oh yeah, the camera is perfect too, lol! A LOT to learn, but well WELL worth the price.

Excellent DSLR.......2007-07-07

The Olympus E-330 may well come to be seen as a classic DSLR. Good resolution and image quality. In addition to the optical view finder, there is a live view viewfinder displayed on the LCD by a small secondary CCD sensor AND a live view Mode B setting that gives live view right off the main camera sensor--perfect for macro work and determining infinity focus of old 35mm lenses. Fast focus and reliable exposures in a variety of light levels, including low light that usually foils my Olympus C-8080. The dust removal system is generally said to be better than competitors. I've changed lenses infrequently and am careful about possible dust. So far, I have had no dust problems at all.

I bought two E-330's and keep an 11-22mm Oly Digital lens on one and use the other for changing to various other lenses--various legacy lenses, a 14-54mm and a remarkably good (old version) 40-150mm kit lens. Build quality is excellent and durable with appropriate care. With careful post processing of images, I can get prints that rivial or exceed the stunning images I've gotten from my Olympus C-8080. The E-330, being a DSLR, allows the use of a far greater range of fine lenses made by Olympus and the 4/3 mount lenses offered by Sigma.

The last of the E-330's are currently in the pipeline and going for firesale prices--Cameta Camera seeming to offer the best deals at the moment.

warm, friendly service, great product, excellent price.......2007-12-26

i was entirely pleased with the olympus e 500 i bought my college age daughter for christmas. and more, she was also thrilled. and as a refurbished item, i was able to outfit her with more camera than i otherwise could have afforded.

Awesome!.......2007-12-18

I did a lot fo reearch before I bought this camera and I'm comletely satisfied with the Olympus E500. A family member has a Nikon 40 and was showing me all it could do and I think I have a better camera for less
money, plus got an extra 40-150mm lens. I would definetly recomend this camera to anyone looking to step up from the point and shoot type.

Cost effective transition to DSLR.......2007-10-30

Still not convinced that you need a DSLR? I spent a few years with various point and shoot digital cameras after giving up my old 35mm film cameras in the late 90s. I was using a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5K 5MP Digital Camera with 12x Image Stabilized Optical Zoom (Black) prior to this and while the Lumix's Leica glass is hard to beat, I found the electronics to be a limiting factor in my picture taking.

I liked what I had heard about Olympus four thirds system:

http://photo.net/equipment/building-a-digital-slr-system/

and I picked up the E-500 in a store and really liked the feel - big and solid, which made my hands feel a tad smaller and the camera easier to use.

Anyhow, if you're not compelled yet, have a look here:

and browse some of the photos.

I found a number of things about this camera with the two lens kit to be to my liking:

1) Excellent low light performance
2) Usable flash on the camera - more powerful than it appears
3) Great ISO controls - the ability to limit ISO range and still use auto ISO mode
4) Excellent LCD
5) Superlative usability and feel
6) Works well with Linux - I use Ubuntu 7.10

Olympus Evolt500.......2007-10-30

This is an excellent camera. The features and quality of the product and the pictures it produces are well worth the cost.

Quality Olympus cameras and accessories.......2007-10-03

Having never owned an Olympus camera before I was a little unsure of the quality compared to other high named brands. I found that it was just the same quality without the expense of paying for the so called "Name Brands" which you are paying for the name not the quality of the product. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys the many photographic nececities that you get on those expensive brands, that Olympus has just as many features to produce excellant pictures.
