Chris, I can't say anything about the E-500, cause I've never seen one.
My first Oly 4/3 was an E-510, a 10MP camera with Live View, though it
is a sort of clutzy Live View. It is not a professional camera like the
E-1, but served me fairly well for several years. As I look at it now,
the only thing that ever broke was the little rubber plug that covers
the USB socket. I always thought that the 410/420 was a slightly
downmarket version of the 510.

While looking for a replacement for my backup E-500, I noticed that a
number of E-410/420 bodies and full cameras are available at comparable prices.
Looking at the instruction manuals for the E-410 and E-420, I see that they
are roughly similar, basically just lacking the uncompressed TIF recording
format. The LCD display appears to be the same.
But, I cannot help but wonder why the E-410/420 are 10MP cameras while
the E-500 is a lesser 8MP camera. That, plus the E-410/420 both have LIVE VIEW
and the E-500 doesn't. Seems like the E-500 was marketed before the E-410/420,
and the only real advantage to the E-500 is the uncompressed TIF recording
format.
Am I missing something?
