Question by Caroline: Do Canon or Nikon DSLR lenses work with an Olympus E500 series camera body?
I have an Olympus E-510 body (the kit… ugh) and it’s working out pretty well for me, I love the feel of the body and it’s just about right for me. There isn’t as much selection among Zuiko lenses as one might hope, so I am wondering if Canon or Nikon lenses can be compatible with my Olympus?
Best answer:
Answer by fhotoace No they will not.
That is why it is so important to do the research before you decide on a camera system. In fact, none of the older Olympus lenses will work on the new 4/3rds Olympus DSLR bodies. You will be buying the 4/3rds Zuiko or leica lenses for your camera from now on.
This is one thing the sales people neglect to tell buyers of DSLR’s is that of all the DSLR’s on the market, Nikon has the most lenses available for all but their entry level DSLR’s since 1959, Canon is next with all the lenses made since 1988 available for their EOS DSLR’s and Pentax can still use all their K-mount lenses on their DSLR’s There can be a bit of an issue figuring out which of the old Minolta auto-focus lenses will work 100% on the Sony DSLR’s
Actually I have not heard that any of the fine Olympus lenses are anything but excellent glass.

Canon EOS Rebel T2i 18 MP Digital SLR Camera Self Review
Canon EOS Rebel T2i 18 MP Digital SLR Camera. This is my third Digital Rebel SLR and fourth Canon DSLR (the added actuality the 30D), and it does not disappoint. In fact, it is an alarming camera in aloof about all respects in its amount range. The sensor delivers accomplished after-effects (although this will depend abundantly additionally on the lens used), the aerial ISO images are stunningly acceptable for what they are, and the LCD awning is a joy to attending at. Coming from a 3″ awning with 200K pixels, it’s a contentment to attending at the aforementioned admeasurement LCD with over a actor pixels.
Of advance the big affection is the full-featured video approach on the T2i. At 1/3 of the 5D Mk.2′s price, it includes 720p approach that 5D Mk.2does not, and at 1/2 amount of the 7D , it has identical video approach PLUS the 640×480 crop video approach which the 7D does not, in aspect accouterment a zoom of about 7x deepening at any accustomed focal range. The crop video approach works like this: Rather than demography the accomplished achievement of the sensor and outputting that as either 1920×1080 (1080p) or 1280×720 (720p), it takes the complete 640×480 complete acreage at the average of the sensor and outputs that as the capture. So abundant like how the circumscribed sensor provides 1.6x deepening for the Canon DSLRs, the circumscribed video approach provides deepening for video shoots.
Canon EOS Rebel T2i SLR Digital Camera Kit with Canon 18-55mm IS Lens. By the way, I’ve been application a super-cheap eBay microphone that I originally got for Skype on my laptop, and it provides endless bigger auto than the congenital microphone. It’s got a adjustable neck, about 5″ long, and application it additionally reduces the lens zoom noise, administration noise, etc.
I was a bit afraid, afore the purchase, how the chiral absorption during video cutting would work. While there are auto-focus methods during the shooting, they are apathetic and will bandy the blow out of focus for 2-4 seconds. I’m blessed to say that for this complete video-on-DSLR novice, the T2i with the 18-55 IS kit lens angry out to be adequately accessible to use and accomplish acceptable results. The IS helps a lot to abate the changeless duke shake, unless you’ve got the camera army on a tripod.
I’ve got one ascertainment and two gripes, both appealing minor. The ascertainment is the computer assets appropriate to handle the abounding 1080p video. Anniversary minute of the 1080p and 720p video is approx. 330MB in size. 720p produces the aforementioned admeasurement because it annal at alert the framerate of the 1080p approach (60fps vs. 30fps). Viewing the built-in 1080p blow beeline from the camera will charge adequately cogent CPU power. On my Core 2 Duo laptop with 4GB of memory, it’s NOT smooth. I’d brainstorm any Core i5 or Core i7 processor would be fine. So I use a freeware alleged Handbrake to encode the video to h.264 mp4 format, which after-effects in about 1/3 of the admeasurement of the aboriginal book with around no accident in quality. This achievement plays flawlessly on my laptop.
The aboriginal ache is the punch mode. The two modes that I will use the most, “P” and “Movie”, are at adverse ends of the dial. It takes me two or three feel accomplishments to about-face the approach aback and forth. While it’s doable, it absolutely would accept been abundant added acceptable if the modes were afterpiece to anniversary other, or if there was a abstracted cine approach activation button on the camera (like the 7D).
The additional affair is the elastic aperture sealing the microphone/remote/AV/HDMI ports. I like to use an alien microphone for videos, so I accessible and abutting the aperture adequately frequently. The elastic articulation allotment seems rather fragile–only time will acquaint how continued it will last.
Canon EOS Rebel T2i SLR Digital Camera Kit with Canon 18-55mm IS Lens. T2i is amazing. Whether you appetite a nice HD camera for fun, to booty some pictures, to alpha a Photo/Video business or to aftermath an Indie Film…the T2i is a abundant advantage for the price. If acclimated accurately the Video can appear out attractive VERY Cinematic. Slap on a nice L Series lens, shoot in 24p and use a Glidetrack for some barrow shots and you won’t accept the results.
I admired it so abundant I bought a additional one. My alone ache is the complete and the abridgement of chiral ascendancy in that area…but I almanac all of my audio on an alien accessory anyways so it’s not THAT big of a deal. It’s aloof that, every already in a while I’d like to go out and bandy on any old mic and get some appropriate audio…and I accept yet to absolutely do that.
Small ache for me personally. You may charge to advance in a Rode Shotgun mic to get some appropriate audio if you don’t almanac externally.
