Pros: Olympus Colors, Fast, Good AF
Cons: Plastic Body

The Olympus E-Volt 500 is a nice little camera for someone on a budget.
I picked mine up with the 2 lens kit ( 14-45mm & 40-150mm ).
It does take a nice photo, light weight with it's plastic body and a ton of functions and settings.
The menu system can be a bit confusing at first, but once you get it set up the way you want, it's easy to use. Several main features can be changed right on the body, others have to be accessed through the menu system.
All in all, don't let the plastic body bother you too much, I've dropped mine twice so far and all is well, not even a mark..
