Just wanted to recommend this camera to anyone on a budget that likes to take photos. Great camera to start off, not too expensive. Great kit lenses. Built in IS. Very good value. Nice bright and clear 2.5" LCD. Live View for getting those shots in weird angles. 3rd party Ownuser battery grip available.

Due to the smaller sensor size, the ISO 1600 is useless, ISO 800 is tolerable but should be avoided.

I built a good party/club system with the E-510 with 50mm f2.0, FL-36 flash and Ownuser vertical battery grip for sub-$1000.

I hope to purchase the 50-200 ED lens in the future for some sports photography.

I mean, this camera uses a 4/3s format sensor which is an outdated format but allows for 8x10s without cropping! (My favorite size.)

Although camera built in Image Stabilization (Nikon = Vibration Reduction) is not as effective as in lens stabilization you still get to apply it to the digital lenses and some of the OM-1 lens should you choose to use them.

Great camera for those of us on a budget.



Just wanted to give my little review for all the photographers on MBShop!
