I bought E500 as birthday Gift for my brother , hoping he will love this camera. I am not sure what features he did not like, but he told me to get him Real DSRL like Canon or Nikon and return this one.
He complained about shutter speed, startup time and also lack many many things which he loved in other cameras but I did what he wanted to do and got him Canon Rebel XT , which made him much happier.
I am guessing it is still a good camera, but may not be upto real DSLR grade as Canon or Nikon are.

I read the reviews and final choice was between Rebel XT and Evolt.
And made a big mistake of selecting Evolt at the last minute.
After spending $800 at Circuit City, I got the picece of crap home.
It has horrible results inside the house in full auto mode and the AF
just refuse to focus in home light (which includes halogen)
I took some 100 pics. in more or less all configuration ISO speeds etc
but still photos were way under exposed and every photo had to be edited.
Next morning I tooks it out in bright sunlight – result were good.
Afternoon I took it back to Circuit City and lost $100 as they won’t
refund my full money.
Camera sucks big time for the amount of money one is spending and
Circuit City customer support added the topping (I can write a whole
article on their support).
Anyways ,,,,, with the bad taste in mouth! Don’t think about buying
this camera…..look somewhere else.
Thanks,
TR.

After doing my reseach I purchased the Evolt e-500! I was very excited about this purchase. Here is what I liked about it!
1) Large LCD Screen
2) It came with 2 lense’s
3) It has so many neat settings
4) It felt nice in my hands.
5) The construction was very nice!
6) I like the 2 card option!
Okay now for what I didn’t like!
1) I am new to Digital slr’s and really didn’t like the low light focus issues. The camera kept spiting out flash to help aid the focus. This I could work with as I think many digital SLR’s do this in low light.
2) The LCD screen was really bright and the images were not sharp. I have a friend who is a Pro and had the same problem with the E-500 that he purchased.
I returned the camera within 24 hours to the store. I think that I just happened to get one with a bad LCD screen and desided not to get another. Someday I might buy one again but not at this time.
I have a few Canon Lenses and film body and desided to go with a Canon D10 body and I am purchaseing an ef 28-135 IS lense.
I do think the E-500 will be alot of fun for whoever purchases it but at this time it’s not the camera for me.
