quick question maybe you can post and someone will know the answer. i am
looking at buying a Olympus EVOLT E-500 digital slr camera whit two
lenses. Will it work with my etx 125 scope. what kind of mount? any help
would be great.
thanks

Mike here: I suspect you will be able to use the same style accessories as with other DSLRs. See the Accessory Reviews: Astrophotography page for more info. The only issue might be weight.

And:

the camera weighs 15.5 oz not sure if thats the camera itself or with a
lens. what kind of weight is to much for a etx125. thanks

Mike here: You may need to add a counterweight system. There are several articles on this on the Helpful Information: Astrophotography page.
