New Camera: Olympus E-510

In photos on 8 May 2008 tagged e510 with 2 comments

I finally succumbed to the DSLR craze and bought myself an Olympus E-510 dual-lens kit. I bought it when I saw a great deal ($475 for body plus two lenses) and then spent the next couple weeks researching (justifying?) the purchase. It’s not a Canon or Nikon and it has a smaller sensor but makes up for it in loads of features and quite-decent kit lenses. Other than the low-light performance, I’m very pleased with it.. although as a noob, I would’ve been pleased with any of the existing entry-level DSLRs.

I’m going to try to focus on taking pictures rather than talking shop about camera equipment… and so, here are three pics taken in the first couple weeks of owning the camera. The colors look different in Firefox and Safari and after playing with colorspaces for an hour, I’m giving up.. so, they’ll look best in Safari and a little washed-out in Firefox.
