A new (expensive) toy
Monday, October 16, 2006
Audio : Listen

I bought a new camera over the weekend.


Olympus E-500
After much 'research', I finally decided on the Olympus E-System with the E-500 D-SLR. At 8.0 megapixels, it should capture enough detail for my usage.

I was considering the Canon 400D too but, eventually went with my heart and bought the Oly instead. Out of the box, the E-500 gives the most natural colours one can find on the current range of D-SLRs (normal consumer cameras too!). The auto-focus (AF) system was a tad bit slower than the 400D's though. Other differences include 10.1MP vs. 8.0MP, CMOS vs CCD sensors, and of course, the price!

I bought the E-500 for SGD1399.00 including GST and it came with:
  • E-500 Body
  • 14-45mm Zuiko Digital (kit) lens
  • 40-150mm Zuiko Digital lens
  • 1 x battery
  • 2 x Hoya UV filters
  • 2GB Kingston 50x CF Card
  • 1 x camera bag
  • 1 x Olympus E-System padded camera strap
  • 1 x xD card reader

This is cheaper than Canon's package of the 400D with just a single lens and a 1GB card at SGD1500.00 with GST.

Well, hope I have a lot of fun with my 'new toy' and post more new pictures to the gallery!
