Olympus E-500 resolution comparison
With 1800 and 1750 lpph of horizontal and vertical resolution respectively, the E-500 performs virtually identically to Canon’s EOS-350D / Digital Rebel XT, with both bodies using their bundled 3x zoom lenses. The E-500 has a slight edge on horizontal resolution over the 350D, but it’s a close-run. Both cameras comfortably out-resolve their 6 Megapixel rivals though. |
