Hi everyone,
I recently purchased an Olympus Evolt E500. I am starting up my own little dog show/trial candid photography business (I am a dog breeder so I'm at shows and trials often enough). A professional photographer told me for an entry level SLR I should skip the Olympus and go for the Nikon D70 or D75 -- apparently the kit lenses for the Olympus are not very good, and other Olympus lenses are expensive to buy. However, my friend has the evolt e300, and I've always LOVED her pictures. I looked at some shots out of the Nikon and was not as impressed with the action shots (which I will mostly be taking). So I went for the evolt e500 anyways.
I've read the book over and over and fiddled with the settings like crazy. And so far, my little Canon Powershot A95 takes better shots than this camera. The action shots are always blurry. I'm becoming very frustrated and worried that I made a mistake. My friend's action shots with her evolt e300 are AMAZING, she gets pictures of her dogs catching frisbees and they are perfect.
So I'm hoping someone can tell me the very best settings to keep the camera on to get good action shots? I have fiddled around with the settings so much but I just seem to figureout which ones are best.
Thanks so much in advance!
