The E-500 was part of Olympus’s early Four Thirds lineup, offering a traditional DSLR layout compared to the side-viewfinder E-300. Its Kodak CCD sensor delivers distinctive image quality prized by enthusiasts. The 17.5–45mm lens was a less common kit option, making this combo especially appealing for collectors.
