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.

All the more reason to get that Canon that Harry's wife uses. She's taken
some excellent shots with that camera. You could probably find a
refurbished one for $100.



Herring's second post of the day...and he's still sniffing up my butt.

Herring, like everyone else, is just toying with you.
