Yet Another New DSLR

Seems like every other week there’s a new digital SLR camera on the market with the latest being the Olympus E-500.

The market for affordable DSLRs was created a few years ago by Canon with their Digital Rebel and 10D and ever since then, we’ve seen entrants such as the Pentax *ist, Nikon D70 and D50, Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D and 7D, the Olympus E-300, and now the Olympus E-500. Not only are these cameras excellent at what they do but the prices keep on getting lower and lower. The Olympus E-500 retails for $699 as a camera body, and has upgraded kits for $799 and $899 depending on the quantity of lenses. Competition is a wonderful thing!
