How do we access/ download the hack you were talking about?

Bought one new in 2007. Still takes amazing photographs. I like taking IR photos with nothing more than an R72 filter in front of it.

Holy shit I thought I was crazy. I'm looking through my E550 pictures, and am SHOCKED by how good they are

The community for old cameras is great, even making the camera better. These things were expensive at launch and the value shows. Unlike modern "digicams"

Olympus Evolt E-300 here

Superb images. Can u pls share your JPG settings for SOOC ? Same for the RAW files ! Thanx

Superb images. Can u pls share your JPG settings for SOOC ?

I'm late but, should I buy a used one?

More like Samsung Nova siries, early.

I have this camera amongst my collection of dslrs,in fact this was my very first,i own half a dozen Canon dslrs and numerous L lenses too but i still love shooting this old camera its just so lightweight & i love the images it can produce. It was out with me yesterday & again today in June of 2024

just got one from an ebay sale! unfortunately it was $117. But it included two XD cards and I know those are super rare and expensive now

Hey! I have a problem, what happens is that I do all the steps for RAW mode, however when I take photos and transfer them to my PC, these photos look very small, an approximate size of 126x98. and JPEG photos look normal size. Even though RAW photos look tiny, these photos weigh more than JPEGs

There is a SD card slot on E500

I bought this camera with my wife a few years ago. I really want to give it a new try in my next tríp.

I have the Olympus E-500 and the E-400 which is 10 megapixel and also has the Kodak sensor, personally I think the E-400 (which is the successor, yes Kodak is counting back) is slightly better than the E-500.

I still have the original E1. Great camera.

The problem I encounter is that whyyyy are there so many of them? How should I choose one lol

I just picked up this camera from a local thrift store this week, and I've been really pleased with the quality of photos you can get out of it so far when shooting RAW. I wish I could get CHDK bootable on a card larger than 4GB since having to do the firmware update bit every time really bogs down the shooting experience when I'm out and about, but other than that it's really nice. 14 megapixels on a CCD produces really nice colours and has plenty of resolution for cropping. Anyway thanks for the video! I had actually watched it a while back so it was neat to revisit after actually using this camera for myself. I hope to see more from you soon. :)

This seems fun enough

I just bought an E-510 with two lenses, a battery and charger and a memory card for just 70€

Well executed! Beautiful images. If I may, the low frequencies in the music are clipping during the montage. I bet you have that sorted out by now.

Your processing is amazing, and very nostalgic/film like. Could you show how you processed some of those images such as the red car etc. Do you ad the vignetting? The nostalgic look to your photos surely has a lot to do with how you process them. That would be so awesome. Great video! : )

I've been gifted this camera I'm excited to start ❤

Um... when I check online, the E550 is listed as having a CMOS sensor, not SuperCCD. The previous gen E300 with 12MP had SuperCCD but no RAW. Can someone check me on this? Great camera none the less.

Shame you didnt share some files to download so we can check them out for ourselves!

Just ordered it with the 14-45 and 40-150 for 150

i have this camera, but the lense curtain is loose. Is there a way to fix it?

any chance you can point me to how to do this to my camera

Hey man did you filmed the tutorial for installing the software, i would love to watch it and se the differences

Have any other e500 owners on here had a problem with the camera capturing deep purple colors? I’ve always wondered if in my case it was intrinsic to the camera or due to a hard drop and extensive repair that happened shortly after I got the camera. Other than that, I have found it to be great camera over the years.

I bought this camera in 2005 when my eldest daughter was born. I still have it. Beautiful rendering.

$40?? How about more like $240.

i got mine still running :D

Any cheap ways to get storage for this or must you purchase a picture card

I have two Olympus E500 camera bodies one with a wide angle and the other with a telephoto lens 99% of the pics I shoot or of live entertainment at night usually with colored stage lights in the background! Using an external flash what setting, f-stop & ISO shutter speed do you reccomend recommend?

I have this camera and many other cameras of different brands, the colors are nice, but if you enjoy the camera shooting experience, I’d say Fujifilm mirror less takes the cake.

Ok, now im obsessed. I just have to get a e300 or e500.

So these vids let us know about these hidden gems, but also drives prices up 🫢😭

Thanks for standing up for this s*itty little camera. I can't afford an expensive camera but enjoy degicams for their portability and fun factors. The pixilation makes it look almost grainy when printed. Which reminds me of old film prints. Look forward to possible other digicams on your channel.

Just got this camera off ebay with the 14-45 kit lens and I got to say the images coming out of the camera are garbage compared to the sample images I see on youtube. They come out looking washed out or hazy. Don[t know if it's the lens or I just got a bad copy of this camera. I don't see any obvious defects when I physically check the lens. I don't see the great color reproduction that others rave about. I can tweak the RAWs and they look a little better but I don't see the CCD magic. When I shoot with the 5D classic or one of my Fuji cameras, I see the uniqueness of those sensors immediately from the images I get.

My dad loves one of that series, looks just the same, widest angle is 27mm equivalent! Don't remember the resolution or anything, whether it has RAW. I remember the screen is transflective and always works. I might borrow it. Transflective screens are sunlight legible but the colour is muted. I am walking a PowerShot G2, it has RAW capability, RawTherapee and Darktable process the photos. Lens is nice enough. I have had several batts for it in various states of decay so i ordered a new Cameron Sino batt for it, the batt arrived same day and no problem so far. I also like my Optio W10 but it's in need of some work and doesn't do raw. But then the display is transflective and is very helpful with hist+peaking so the shots come out well exposed, and it's all one handed control and very quick. I love belt holstering that one, and i think periscope lens cameras like this one are severely underrated.

what's the difference between the "IS" and the one without that two word lol help

I saw this video and was able to find 1200IS here in India from an online used camera store for around 40USD Waiting for it to arrive while I learn how to install CHDK and editing

The great thing about those digicams like that is that it won't draw unwanted attention from people around you including security folks, like a big DSLR will. I find it easier to get shots in peace when I use those nifty little point and shoot machines. I like any Canon digital elph 5 megapixels or above. I have and alder SD400 that still takes great pics to this day. I've also used many other brands, some great, and some just terrible LoL. You know, I also wonder why every one of these types of cameras was silver. You don't really see a lot of stuff from that time in many other color options.

I bought one from ebay to have it converted to full-spectrum for infrared photography using an IR filter on the front of the lens.

Too much work, I find VSCO grain effects looks pretty good.
