Enjoy!

Its a fair learning curve.

I suggest a good book or 2, or a couple of copies of Practical Photography or similar to help you on your way

I've been thinking about getting an SLR for ages now, and I think i've found one which should be ok!

Just wondered what you chaps thought about this, and its value for money etc...

Its an Olympus e510

Thanks in advance!

Nearly bought one of these (or it's predecessor) last year - couldn't afford it in the end.  I've been using Olympus SLR film cameras for over 30 years, and my wife has a 4 year old Olympus 4mp compact digital which takes better pictures than my 8mp Fuji which is less than a year old.

Can't go wrong with Olympus.

Still got an OM1n with a 28mm F2.8 lens in my bag for landscapes. It takes damn good pictures. But it also gets in my way a whole lot more than my Nikon D80 does.

Those old Zuiko lenses are fantastic, it has to be said. Shame the 4/3 system doesn't take them.
