My First Digital SLR Camera

I bought my camera about a month ago, and I love it. It was the Olympus E-520 Digital SLR Camera with the 14-44 zoom lense. I was immediately impressed with all the features and settings that you can choose from. Starting with the 20 different scene modes, 4 advanced shooting modes and 7 automatic shooting modes. It has a larger LCD monitor which can be used for live view shooting and recording and also serves as a Super Control Panel that allows the display of shooting settings. It's lightweight despite being larger than it's predecessor the E-510. I was also very pleased with the great price and with all the accessories that were included. The software that is included allows you to manage, edit and store your photo library, it's a great addition. My only complaint is that this camera uses an xD picture card, as opposed to the standard "SD" that we see in just about all of the cameras out there. The xD 2G holds about 600 photos, which is great, but if you need a replacement card, you can't just buy them at your local electronics store, you can only get them through a certified Olympus Retailer, and that't kind of a hassle. Not to mention that it may become obsolete in a couple of years. So if you have one now, or are thinking about getting one, make sure you stock up on a few xD picture cards. Despite that, I would highly recommend this camera if you want to get a high quality camera with a budget price. I am not a professional photographer, but I do enjoy photographing nature shots, landscapes or just take photos of a birthday party or Christmas dinner at home. And if you're like me, you're gonna love this one. It allows you to take professional-type photos without having to invest 2 to 3 thousand dollars on a camera. It's great for people who want to get into photography but are not ready to make a large investment in the equipment. Again, I am very happy with my purchase and I would highly recommend it to someone.
