Impressed with the E-510...finally
(Sopers - 7/26/07)I made a large jump from an old P&S Olympus 3040 zoom to the E-510. I was going to go with the 410 but I wanted the IS.
At first I wondered what I had got myself into since the results were less than I expected. The 3040 simply takes great 3 meg shots right out of the box.
Anyway, I worked with a friend to adjust the settings and now I see what this camera can do. I just took 1000 shots at the US MotoGP races and there are some pictures that are easily magazine quality. I also purchased the Olympus 50-200 lens for about $800 and it's amazing.
I'm sure once I spend a few more weeks with this, I'll have many more fantastic photos.
Hey Konoimo, if you decide to dump that Olympus gear, let me know!
