* No answer to the e-mails
for questions regretting repair solutions.
* No Repair services near country(El Salvador or Central America)....and very
limited access in countries like Panama, Mexico, and Colombia
* Very Expensive Lenses and accessories compare to the Big Brands Like Canon
or Nikon(at least for equivalent lenses like: SIGMA, TOKINA and others)
I'd recommend to buy only the best known brands like Canon or Nikon, this 2
brands has representatives sellers all over Central America, and is easy to
get spare parts and repair solutions for your cameras.

Olympus Evolt E-510 Images Too Dark and WB Off, January 2, 2008

I bought the Olympus Evolt
E-510 based on reading the glowing reviews and based on its feature set. I took
a bunch of pictures indoors over the holidays and found the pictures waaayyyy
too dark. I'm not a photography expert, so I typically use the automatic
settings. I tried all types of ways to brighten up the picture but nothing I
did solved the problem. My Canon Point-And-Shot SD550 took much better
pictures! I thought it might be the built in flash, so I went and got the top
of the line Olympus Flash FL-50 and although the flash is cool, I still got
dark pictures.
The other issue that I found was the White Balance (WB) seemed to be off with
more than a few pictures. The colors were too warm and I had to play a lot in
iPhoto to get the pictures even close to an acceptable level. I purchased a
digital SLR for its increased speed and for its better picture quality, but the
Olympus Evolt E-510 did not come close to the image quality that I would expect
from a $700+ camera (with the lenses).
I returned both the camera and the flash and I ordered the Nikon D80 based on
its positive reviews and based on advice from a neighbor, who is into
photography. After returning the Evolt E-510 I read the new Amazon review and
it did point out it's low exposure and WB issue with the automatic settings.
If you like to use the automatic settings of the camera, then my advice is to
stay away from this camera.
