Olympus E - 500
You may find this camera is no longer available but you will find something very similar if this is the case.
The eight million pixel Olympus E-500 digital SLR is a creative photographer’s dream with a full complement of manual settings plus user-friendly menu and display. Lens not included.
The Olympus E-500 has been designed with the user in mind.
It is easy to operate and understand and the way the menu is designed contributes to this.
The E-500 includes 21 pre-defined scene modes, ranging from landscape to sunset to portrait, meaning it can be picked up and used straight away.
However, as a photographer’s skills develop, the manual controls come into their own, enabling experimentation only limited by the photographer’s imagination.
Image Quality
An eight megapixel, Full Frame Transfer CCD offers a larger pixel area than an ordinary Interline Transfer CCD and as a result delivers images with a greater exposure latitude, more detail and less noise.
Olympus has developed a way for photographers to enjoy the freedom of using all the lenses of the Olympus E-System in the most challenging, dusty environments without compromising image quality. Every time the camera is turned on Olympus’ Supersonic Wave Filter, a patented ultrasonic technology that shakes at 35,000 vibrations a second to remove dust from in front of the camera sensor, is activated. The spot-free photos that are produced liberate users from hours spent retouching photographs at the computer.
The camera is also equipped with a noise filter that can be turned on and off, as the photographer desires to minimise image noise at high ISO values.
Two memory card slots, one for a CompactFlash and another for an xD memory card, are included.
The Olympus E-500 offers an affordable entry into the world of SLR photography.
These opinions come from its producers so you need to temper its claims, as with all cameras, with a small reality check.
Whatever you buy always carries some risk but the more you know the less risk there is.
We'll go into manual setting and what you can achieve on another post, now that you have the idea.
This Olympus seems to be designed to make manual setting easier for you.
The link above takes you to some world wide photography which I'm sure you'll enjoy. It's right next to the title.
