EVOLT E-500 Digital SLR
There’s a first time for everything. And for digital SLRs in this price range, it’s the first time so many leading-edge breakthroughs have been
ombined with user-friendly innovations. With the highest number of “firsts” in its price class, the new EVOLT E-500 is the digital SLR our
c
competitors will try to match.
Patented Dust Reduction System for Spot-Free Photos Each time
EVOLT E-500 is turned on, our exclusive Super Sonic Wave Filter™
vibrates 35,000 times a second, shaking dust loose from the image
sensor – and capturing it, to prevent its reappearance. No need to
retouch on a computer – or be concerned about changing lenses.
Brighter, More Colorful Photos with the 8.0 Megapixel Imager The
advanced 8 megapixel CCD helps you capture edge-to-edge
perfection with a full range of color, contrast and detail. The
FourThirds standard-type CCD achieves dynamic range and
sensitivity equal to the Olympus E-1, our professional digital SLR.
TruePic TURBO™ Image Processor for Crystal-Clear Results
Exclusive Olympus technology gives you crisp clear photos without
having to face all-too familiar shutter delays or slow startup times.
Enjoy accelerated performance with briefer shot-to-shot times and
quicker image playback of smooth, detailed images.
Large, Bright HyperCrystal™ LCD The generously-sized 2.5” LCD
lets you view subjects and share images easily. With more pixels
than most displays, EVOLT E-500 provides an impressive 160-degree
viewing angle, from left to right and up and down.
Dual Memory Slots for Compact Flash, Microdrives and xD-Picture
Cards™ Store your photos however it’s most convenient. EVOLT
E-500 lets you switch between your favorite media devices without
slowing down.
Small, Lightweight Ergonomics Advanced plastics provide stable
strength. The camera’s weight (or lack of it) and advanced grip (with a
place for each finger on your shooting hand) offer operating comfort.
The Olympus EVOLT E-500’s design gives
you greater portability and ease of
handling – along with an automatic
“pop-up” flash that’s there when you need it.
Our exclusive dust reduction system for spot-free photos, TruePic TURBO
Processor and all-digital lenses combine with a large, bright LCD and sensible
ergonomics for outstanding results and a memorable photographic experience.
