A review of the Olympus E-500 EVOLT digital camera is available at dpreview.

Here is an abbreviated version of their review conclusion:
“The E-500 has clearly been designed by people who really go out and use the cameras.
Image quality is on the whole very good, resolution essentially as good as the EOS 350D (Digital Rebel XT) […]. Dive into the E-500s menus and you soon realize this camera offers far more from a features point of view than the competition […].
So despite some shortcomings, and assuming you can forgive the small viewfinder view you’ll be hard pushed to argue with the ‘value proposition’ the E-500 represents.
Highly recommended. ”
