Olympus EVOLT E-500 DSLR Review

LetsGoDigital have published their review of the new 8 megapixel Olympus EVOLT E-500, it features a 2.5" screen and is available with a kit lens for £499 at Amazon.co.uk:

"The remarkably wide array of possibilities and options that the Olympus E-500 offers to the user, make it a camera well worth buying. The basic features however might not strike you as particularly impressive upon first glance; we have after all by now gotten quite used to 8 Megapixels. The sensor is the same as the one we find in the E-300, the signal however is processed differently. The monitor with a 2.5 inch format is another feature that has become somewhat average, it is only on the Canon EOS 350D that a smaller 1.8 inch screen is found. The secret to the Olympus E500 digital reflex lies on the inside and in the camera's design itself. The E-500 DSLR is significantly compact yet lies perfectly in the photographer's hand. It reminds somewhat of the Olympus OM-series; the compact reflex camera that won Olympus worldwide fame and recognition."
