That seems to me unfair, sort of like knocking the kit lens for poor
macro capabilities. The E-500 was designed and priced as an entry level
DLSR. Unlike others, however, Oly designed and built a really superb
DSLR for macro use, the E-330, the best anybody has made for that
purpose yet..
If you persist in working using a cheap adjustable wrench/spanner
instead of a more expensive set of fixed size wrenches and/or socket
set, you end up with damaged bolts, nuts and knuckles. Whose fault is
that? Not the maker of the adjustable wrench, but the nut who uses it.
The E-500 is the adjustable wrench.
The new E-410 and E-510 have live view macro, so they should be a big
improvement over the E-500 for that. A shame they don't have articulated
screens. The current prototype for the E-1 pro replacement has an
articulated screen.

For macro, anything besides a proper macro lens is another adjustable
wrench.
