is the right one for my camera - olympus C5000z or should I be in
rec.photo.digital.zlr?

thanks

In my opinion, to be classified as a ZLR cameras would generally:

- look and feel like an SLR
- have an Electronic Viewfinder (EVF)
- have a zoom lens
- have full manual control of:
- aperture
- shutter speed
- focus
- have a hot-shoe and tripod mount
- have much more creative control than point and shoot

It's going to be a grey area for some cameras.

Any comments?

Totally agree. Plus, as this is still a low traffic group I wouldn't
bother too much whether the C500z fits or does not fit.

Kind regards
