The Kodak sensor in the 500 has *something* that the 510 onwards just don't have, some people talk about it having the film-like "Olympus" colours.

you are the finest 'school' photographer I have ever seen...this shot represents you well, but it is your ability to do this so well so often and with such a wonderful sense of seeing the students as people that is truly remarkable...
