    … just wish they could sort out their picture managment software.

    I don’t know if you are using Olympus Studio or Master.  Most people, it seems, complain about them.

    If you are using jpeg files, then all kinds of programs use them.  If you are using the ORF raw files, there are options.  Silkypix and Raw Therapee will open them and both are free to download.

    If you want to use the ORF files in Photoshop, then down load the free Adobe DNG Converter.  It will make a copy of the ORF in DNG format which will open in PS.

    And you are right.  I have the E510 and find the in-body IS system great.  I can use it with my old Zuiko OM lenses.  All you have to do is upgrade the firmware.  When you put on an old lens (any brand with appropriate adapter) on the camera, go into the IS menu and set it for the lens’ focal length.

    I seem to have a problem getting the cameras to connect to my lap top, when they do, everythin works great, but i normaly have to reboot the whole bloody thing 5 times to get it to work… and then I can’t get into the remote drive. I just upgraded to their latest release, and it seemed better, but I have only uploaded once sinse then…

    I got PS2 on my wifes lap top, soon to PS3, and I love working with the RAW on that, but the Master version also works well.

    The new E520 is nice, but I’ve seen many good photos from the E500.  A very capable camera.  Good luck with your owls.

    Ja, they offer the best bang for your Buck, and now with the stabilized body, they are some serious tools. I also one of the lighter DSLR’s… just wish they could sort out their picture managment software.

    And then I read the post and learn even more…

    Neal, Chad, the rest of you, where do I pay, this kind of info is worth soooooooo much….

    Right, I want a wide angle for my Olympus e500, I got the 18-55, and a 55-200, great to cover most of what I need on the water, and Combined with my u770 water proof, point and shoot, which is on my belt anytime I’m on the water. I think that a nice wide will complete my Camera stufffsss….

    I am then going to get that Sanyo waterproof digital video camera…

    Thanks guys, I haven’t seen them since the weekend, but I will be out looking for them…
    Got the ladder set up to the roof and waiting…

    John, all yours are shot at full 400mm zoom, I can only go to 200mm, it must be quite a process getting the tripod in the exact position for the shot???

    Olympus are great value for what you get… I bought my e500 on special, but I wish I had the e520… but I got the u 770 waterproof for my on stream pics… just toss it around.

    Lastly, do you guys all have woods behind your houses???

    I have to say that number 1 is an absolute stunner…

    Every time I look away from it, I think her face changes expression, the background color is stunning, the impression of movement and it is one of the few pictures I have seen where the subject is leaving the scene, but still tells the story…

    A joy to look at, I would like to blow it up and put it on the wall…

    SWMBO

    This is the first time I have heard this term out side of South Africa, more like out side of Cape Town… we add an A for Always

    Really like the boat… best bit is you can put SWAMBO infront of you for extra spray protection…. 😎
