Re: EX1/TL500 owners- honest opinion wanted please

I had a few initial issues with my EX1.

Firstly it was severely over exposing, and went back for adjustment. It still tends to over expose in strong light, but I've learned how to adjust.

Secondly it froze during a firmware update and had to go back.

Apart from these drawbacks I would highly recommend the camera as a DSLR substitute, especially for the quality of the Schneider lens.

I haven't had a problem with battery life. One battery gets me through a heavy day's shooting, with a spare just in case.

If you can get one at a good price, go for it.
