I am looking at purchasing a new SLR camera. I am currently using a point and shoot but needs something that takes good action shots. Anyone have an Olympus Evolt 500 or 510? Any suggestions would be very helpful.
 
I have the E520 and I really like it. I just posted some pics this morning on here that I took at Disney last week if you want to see some examples. I've only had it for less than 2 months and it's my first DSLR also. I upgraded from a Sony DSC-H5.

It has nice features and is lightweight. I kept it around my neck or on my shoulder for the whole week we were there and it didn't bother me at all. I bought both the 14-42mm lens and also the 40-150mm lens and took them both to Disney. I only used the telephoto lens at Animal Kingdom.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it!:)

You might also look at the Sony A200. $499 for the camera and 18-70 kit lens or there is a holidy sale and for $549 you can get the previous plus either a 55-200mm or a 75-300mm lens.
 
I would not make a decision based simply on most bang for the buck. You might soon realize that was not the one you really would have liked and then be unhappy with it. You should research your options, the systems that go with them, and actually handle them to see how they feel.
 

The best camera for the price is the one you understand and feel comfortable with and will use. Go to a camera store and play in your price range and see which one works for you!

Action shots as in sports???

I would advise you set a price range and find the one with the fastest burst speed and largest raw buffer. Also look at availability and price of fast zooms.
