Olympus SLR Camera Buying Tips

When it comes to digital photography, my brother was the one that taught me everything he knew.
He started enjoying it when he got a Canon F series 35mm from our father.
His digital camera right now is a 20D SL with a 420EX flash, which costs thousands of dollars when you take into consideration the L series lenses.
Some time ago I bought the E500 dual lens kit paying only a small percentage of what he paid, and it seems that it really offers the best bang for the money you're paying.
In the vast majority of cases, when photos go wrong, the camera isn't to blame, but the person using it.
That's the case in 49 cases out of 50.
A friends of mine that uses a model from 2001, a Canon S230, takes much better photos than me, even though I have an excellent digital SLR.
I tested the 20D model that my brother has and the E500 that I own, and my camera focuses slower, but apparently that can be solved by doing a firmware upgrade.
When we tried taking the cameras in our hands, the E500 felt lighter than the 20D model.
One thing that I loved about the camera were the LCD controls, which controlled everything from flash speed, to exposure, ISO and any other setting that you want changed.
One observation that my brother had was that he was missing the small LCD screen that his Canon had on top of the camera.
The quality of the photos was good, so the post processing was minimal.
When the vivid settings were activated, the quality of the photos was better than the 20D model.
Overall, this model was definitely worth the money paid for it.
A few months since I bought it and I'm just as happy today with the quality of the photos it takes.
I still use the camera on a regular basis, and I recommended this Olympus SLR camera to others as well.
So far, three people bought it based on my recommendation and they're very satisfied with it.
Comparing the money invested, my brother spend $4000 on his camera, while my own camera has only $700 invested in it.
His latest investment in the camera was a flash (580EX) and a lens that is wide angel L.
I love how he can take photos in burst (3-4 photos) while using flash for all of them.
