Thanks for the comments folks.....i had heard about the quality of olympus jpeg images....now i see what all the fuss was about. Makes me wonder if i need to shoot raw all the time
I shoot both raw and jpeg with my e510 & e520. It's not often I need to use the raw images but there are times when I'm awfully glad I took the precaution of shooting in both formats!

Until a little while ago I shot raw+JPEG as whilst for many shots the Oly "out of camera" JPEG is fine there are some situations where you can get even better results from the extra data in the raw files. Recently I've "grasped the nettle" and started shooting raw only. The Olympus Viewer or Master software that should have come with your camera will, in my experience, at its default settings produce the same JPEG as the camera ( I suspect it's essentially the same as the camera firmware). The other well known brands (and free offerings) of post processing software will give greater scope for getting even more from your shots.
Thanks for sharing your first shots, a great start.
Regards.

Thanks for the encouraging comments peter, i too have also shot in raw+jpeg and will continue to do so.... i was just so surprised by the superb olympus jpeg's.

thankyou all for the great feedback on these shots.I am absolutely delighted with the performance of the E520 and the two kit lenses.
I have been fascinated with cloud formations and sunrise/sunset images for years, and now i hope to be able to achieve some descet results.
