Greetings Everyone!  I am new to using this group but I am not new to using 
great Olympus cameras.  Until recently I was new to owning my own Olympus 
though.

I recently purchased my first camera, the Olympus E-500.  I have always 
loved my girlfriends different Oly cameras.  The picture quality on their 
past cameras and affordable price sold me on choosing their new E-500 as my 
first DSLR.

I got the 2 lens kit in early December and just ordered a 14-54 lens last 
night.  I am really hoping this new lens will give me brighter pictures 
without the flash.  A faster auto-focus wouldn't be terrible and the reviews 
I have read say that is better too.  I also want to get some head shots of 
my girlfriend...portraits.  I will soon find out if it was a good purchase 
but what do the folks that have both already think?

I noticed people were talking about the 50mm F2 lens as being great.  I 
really like to zoom in and out and it just didn't seem like it would be as 
much fun, but it does look like it lets in a lot of light.

I also have an FL-36 flash on order/in the mail.  Will I be happy with not 
moving up to the FL-50?  I didn't think I would ever use an external power 
supply for the flash.  Is 36 sweet?

I was using my buddies Canon 20D all last night.  It sure can fire fast, but 
I really like the design of the E-500 much better!  The only thing I even 
liked about his camera was the multiple autofocus points and quick fire.  It 
didn't have a good interface IMO.  Go Olympus!

Cheers!
Allen
