...Tough Market
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Olympus has a long history of brilliant cameras and lenses.
It finds itself in a tough world as far as digital SLR cameras are concerned.
The other big names - Nikon and Canon, have a huge section of the market already. Sony, Samsung, Panasonic and Pentax are eager rivals, but Olympus is determined not to get left behind.
Their E series, and especially their latest models, are crossing new frontiers and making ground ... ...photographs you want to shoot. Olympus has 19 lenses just for its E series.!
A macro lens lets you get in close to small objects - you know those pictures of spiders in their webs, and such like.!
A telephoto lens lets you zoom in on some far away object, and fill the frame with the face of Big Ben from 2 miles away, or so!
Sports photographers and the paparazzi get in close with massive telephoto lenses.

Advantages: Small, light and great image quality for a great price. Disadvantages: I personally dont think this camera has any bad points.

Advantages: Small, light, excellent handling, superb image quality Disadvantages: E series AF not for sports shooters, lenses available to order
I have just sold £10,000 worth of Nikon gear to invest in the E-series on the basis of this camera. its a dream to use, the lenses are superb and the quality great (A3+ prints). The kit lenses are excellent with this camera as well and FAR better than Canon or Nikon's equivalent.

It works well, with longer lenses you support the lens body for balance. ... ...level Nikons and Canons, has depth of field preview and plenty of specif modes for new users. It will make an ideal travel, street or family camera, where you want quality but not have to lug round loads of gear.
The Zuiko Digital lenses are not widely in stock in the UK, but can easily be obtained online or by order ( I now have the 11-22mm f2.8-3.5, 14-54mm f2.8-3.5 and 50-200mm f2.8-3.5). ...
