Hello,
After begging my wife and kids for a dslr camera for years for xmas, birthdays etc, I decide to take matter into my own hands, and got me a used E510 Olympus with two kit lenses.
I have been playing with the aperture and shutter a little bit, and seems to be nice shots, let me know what you guys think.
Are these kind of third quarters cameras good?
what are the cons?
Thanks for your answers!

I am guessing you are asking about 4/3's sensor cameras??
Basically they were invented by Olympus, and subsequently totally abandoned by them. The sensor still lives as the M4/3's, but none of the 4/3's lenses will mount on the M4/3's cameras, even an adaptor is extremely rare to use this combination.

I guess so.
I didn't knew about these cameras until I got me this one.
Like I said this is my first dslr, and I am a little confused.
I though it was the body the smaller, but I guess I was wrong.

So, I guess I hit a dead end with this one if I want ever to upgrade lenses.
Do u think I can get filters for them though?

Like any thing it's trial and error until you get the knack. Between this site and YouTube I learned a lot in the beginning. I used to live in Salt Lake City for years but now live in Sacramento. I used to take a lot of pictures around Park City when it was a ghost town. Remember to try different things and have fun.

Hi, 4/3 is a great format, relatively inexpensive, well designed, good quality, lenses lighter, cheaper than their full frame equivalents... Kit lenses are sharp and cheap (but slow). If you get into the fancier lenses, they are still cheaper, while as good or better than competitors. Biggest downside? Limited ISO; get much >800 and the picture quality degrades somewhat rapidly; the newer ones are better but still can't compete with full frame Nikon/Canon/etc ISOs. Combine the ISO limit with the slow kit apertures and you may find yourself limited in dim light situations. So, great--unless you're into available darkness photography. J

Hey thank you very much!
I think that this camera will be good to learn and later will see which path to follow.
I really like the two lenses nikon 3200, but don't know if it would be a big difference
