Useful Information

(Shinji Konno - 1/8/08)

After months of looking at different cameras and internet camera reviews, I finally bought E510. At the time I purchased, I didn't know that the camera and the lenses are made in China even though Olympus Corp. is a Japanese company. I also found out that both Canon Rebel XTI and Nikon D40X are not made in Japan anymore. I remember carrying Canon F-1 and Nikon F-2 and having a sore shoulder when I was younger. Those of you who can remember those days, E510 is just right for you. It is amazingly light and even my wife wants to carry around. If you also have smaller hands, this camera is for you. This camera has a really good shutter sound. It sounds a lot better than my old Nikon FA that I used so much. Go to a store and try out this camera, then you'll agree with me. Don't listen to professionals talking about functions that you'll never use.
