  • Dual card format. Compact and relatively light camera.
  • Some may want more than 8 megapixels.
  • When heading for the store, cash or card in hand, be prepared to bargain, with the likelihood that you can win the E-500 plus a larger memory card and maybe another lens ? and still be looking at less than $1,400.
