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.

I'm not really - the Olympus camera according to those in the know is
totally based on this camera.

We have to get away from 4/3rds being a "compromise" format. It's a
different format designed to be completely digital from soup to nuts.

Having said that, yes - I believe its almost ideally suited for this
type of camera and in fact, I think Olympus was waiting for a change
in processing technology from the git-go with 4/3rds to do exactly
this.

We'll see what happens.

I hope you don't hate it.. I have found the smaller the camera, the
harder it is to hold.

I may have to buy a new camera. Wife looked for the Pentax today to photo a
drake and hen mallard using the swimming pool. She can't find the camera.
Will be my fault.

When my friend Joe was alive, he really was into photography. I remember
when he bought his last Olympus, he told me it was the same camera
National Geographic had just supplied their photographers with, not that
they know anything about taking nature shots

God bless you Joe, you were an Angel..
