Should be here on Friday.

Now I need to sell my 300 and 330 before Mrs. Wave finds out.

This could be a problem... :)
Those Olympic people won't be happy that you've deserted them.

Do you think the 4/3 system is a good compromise between full sized
SLRs and the tiny compact camera CMOS?
No. The original 4/3'rds didn't really catch on. There is no reason to
suspect the newly revised version will, either.
Where do you come up with this crap? Talk to fashion and outdoors
photographers sometime about what they use in reality - Canon or
Olympus E-1s and now E-3s.

Keep following the herd Harry - that's what you seem to be really good
at.

Moron.

Interesting. The fashion and outdoors photographers I know, and I hire
some every year, use Hasselblads, Nikons, and Canons. The architectual
photographers are using Hasselblads and 4x5's. I can't even recall the
last time I saw a working commercial photographer using an Olympus. Next
time you see a presidential "photo op," see if there are very many, if
any, Olympus cameras among the pros.

For a product like a professional SLR to "catch on," it has to have market
share. Among working photographers, what do you suppose the Olympus market
share is? No one out there is competing in a serious fashion with Nikon
and Canon.

I'm not knocking Olympus technology or quality. As I previously stated,
they make fine camera. When I state they haven't caught on, I mean market
share.

I see no reason to be iconoclastic when it comes to cameras. Nikons and
Canons are good enough for me.

When I was downtown visiting Atlantic Photo, the oldest 'real photo store'
in this area, the guy told me that the local professionals use either Nikon
or Canon cameras.





Don...you might want to take a look at the Panasonic LX3, too.
