     I went through this issue with the E-500/510.  The E-500 does not 
accommodate a cable release, but if you take the back of the body off you can 
add the wire from the socket to the shutter release.  I bought a used E-510 
body, but the socket has a broken solder connection and I'll have to take the 
back off to repair it some day.

     I was surprised that a cable release could not be used with the E-500, and 
I'm even more surprised that there isn't one for the E-1.  I have become 
comfortable with using the simple RM-2 IR shutter release.

     Olympus was not consistent with the features from one model to the next.  
For instance, the E-500 can record in RAW TIFF format, saving a full byte for 
each colour of each pixel, which results in 24M files.  And it will record RAW 
monochrome in both OLY and TIFF formats.  As far as I know, those recording 
formats are not available in subsequent models, and it gives the relatively 
lowly E-500 added value.
