This should be the first purchase right behind the camera/lens themselves. I just purchased a Canon-EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens along with a UV filter and polarizing lens filter. Unfortunately, the place where I purchased these items felt it was more important to ship the lens seperate from the filters, just to save a little money. The lens arrived within a few days, but the filters were shipped via the USPS, which we all know doesn't get in any hurry. Long story short, I was so excited about my new lens, but refused to use it until I had those filters. Too much money to risk taking a chance of damage, so I waited for the filters. Filters are much cheaper to replace than an expensive lens. UV filters are must! This should be the first purchase right behind the camera/lens themselves.

I'm pretty sure that Olympus has released a newer version by now, so I wouldn't recommend buying the same exact one that I have. I'm not sure if you are asking about a specific kind of jumping (toddler, horse, etc?) but just about any DSLR will be faster than a point and shoot. Thank you for visiting my blog! Erin Hi Shay,

And I like what I see. Although I'm not completely camera savvy and it will probably take me a while to figure out all the actions and such. I just want to know if it is pretty easy to understand after awhile and if it takes pictures fast enough to capture jumping? I have been looking at this camera now that you’ve mentioned it on here.

I can't believe I found someone out there who shoots with an Olympus E500!!! I have mine for 3 years and ADORE it but haven't found anyone (until now) who uses one!! Apparently, Nikon and Canon have taken over the world! :) Maybe we can compare notes sometime? Anyway, I have been followwing your blog for about amonth now and totally enjoy all your tutorials and info!! Thanks for all you do! YAY!

I LOVE MINE!!! I bought it about two years ago, got frustrated with it and put it in the cupboard until now. I have been reading a lot of online tips and info on using my flash and I have grown to absolutely LOVE it!!!! You can bounce it all around you instead of straight on to avoid nasty shadows, you can improve indoor shots immensely and I am learning to love it outdoors as a fill flash too!! My next goal is to learn to use it off camera on a tripod for extra lighting :) FUN!!! Great post! extra flash?

I got a wonderful deal on a camera and lens kit at BHphotovideo (out of NY I think)....another great tip from a photography blog. Thanks for putting the info out there for us all, we appreciate it!

I don't remember why, was probably the money. also…I looked at that camera first…cause I had seen some awesome stop motion of dogs (BC) flying in mid air while catching Frisbee’s…I wish now I had gotten it.
