A great kit for a new photographer or a pro who likes that old school feel!
A bit of a cult classic among enthusiasts because of its 8MP Kodak CCD sensor, which is famous for producing rich, film-like colors that modern CMOS cameras just can’t quite mimic.
Everything is in great second-hand condition and ready to shoot. This is the "Evolt" system (Four Thirds mount), known for being compact but very robust.
What’s Included:
Olympus E-500 Camera Body: Features the sought-after CCD sensor and a built-in "Supersonic Wave Filter" to keep the sensor dust-free.
Zuiko Digital 14-45mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens: The perfect everyday "walkabout" lens.
Zuiko Digital 40-150mm f/3.5-4.5 Lens: A great telephoto zoom for portraits or getting closer to the action.
Olympus B-HLD20 Power Battery Holder: This grip gives you a much better handle on the camera and holds extra power for long days of shooting.
Power & Accessories: * Rechargeable Battery (already in the camera).
The gear is well-loved but in good working order. Lenses are clear of any major scratches. Perfect for a beginner looking to learn manual photography or a pro looking for that "nostalgic" CCD color science.
