...and unless it is an Olympus XD you will not be able to use the panoramic function which I think is a bit of a shame, however this is really the only quibble that I have with this camera kit.

Review of Olympus E-510

...software coming with the camera: olympus master 2 - it stops working from time (consuming 100% CPU) to time and I have to restart it. Another issue worth to mention is that this camera has a problem getting focus when the scene you want to shoot is not very well lit. It also comes with 2 sets of high quality kit lens. You also need to remember buying it, that unlike many other DSLRs, which shoot photos in 3:2 format, this one shoots them in 4:3 ...

Review of Olympus E-510

...to wonder. With the Olympus E510, you pay less and you get more. Let me run through a few of what I have found to be its best features. First, the sensor protection.

Review of Olympus E-510

This camera is light weight, and quick to use. As a novice to the SLR I've found this really easy to just pick up. The automatic settings are simple and the instruction manual gives handy tips and advice how to use the manual settings. I've had this Canera for about 4 months now and I can't believe some of the pictures I've taken with it. the manual zoom means that you have more control over your depth of field etc. lenses are eay to change and ...
