Hi:
I ´ve been using the S2 PRO for about two years. But since the new S3 Pro is no longer compatible with older Nikon TTL Flash or Metz with SCA adapter,and I have 3 of them, I took a serios look at the E-500. With the money I would get for my camera and lenses, I could buy 2 of the 2 lens kit... BUT...is it a good deal ? So how can I know wich is better ? I don´t mind the pixel nº, quite never shot with max resolution. But quality, noise, autofocus speed, lens qualty... Any advices are welcome S2 Pro Nikkor 24-120 (Great) Sigma 18-125 (so-so) Nikkor 105mm F2.8 Macro Metz 50MZ5 Metz 45CL-4 Metz 32MZ-3 |

The E500 certainly seems to be a bargain for what it delivers, but you may want to take a serious look at the E-1, which B&H is selling for $750 now. If you're budget is tight, you could likely pick up the E300/500 two lens kit, almost unused and pretty cheaply on Ebay. If you can manage it, though, the Oly 14-54 and 50f2 macro would be dynamite replacements for your 24-120 and 105 macro. I have an F80 and the same set of lenses, and found those two oly lenses to be prefect replacements...even slight upgrades.
And the E-1 is a camera you have to *handle* to really appreciate. A Nikon with the same build, 100% viewfinder and ergonomics would cost you four or five times as much! |
