On this forum a few people state that there is an occasional lock up problem with E-1.

It does not really concern me since I don't have the E-1 but there is somebody stating the problem is very serious on the E-500.
I think it is user error but anyway, has any of you seen the described problems? Or are all those guys wrong? I am hitting about 10 000 shutter actuations with my E-500 but I never had the problem. If it would happen every 20 times the camera would definitely left my home a long time ago, especially if Oly service would say they can not find the error...:think: I would become very angry. Maybe that guy/gal is a newbie :dunno:
A few times I suspected there was something wrong with my camera when I started to use it, because the red light was flashing on and off for like forever. But then I thought I let it flash to see how long it is doing it, it stoped after a long time. I checked what may have caused it and came to conclusions it was the NR. With NR on it is some times flashing for a very very long time but I think that is normal. It did however never locked up, and never had to remove the battery to reboot the camera. If it would happen every 20th times of turning it on it would really make me mad. That means every 20th picture is missed completely.
