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. Check your email. -- John |

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. |

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. That's true pretty much everywhere, except among the photogs shooting larger format...2-1/4, 6x7, 4x5. Despite what you see on TV movies, most fashion photography is NOT shot on 35mm film or digital cameras. The national geo still photographers use nikons and canons almost exclusively. The gal photog I use for west coast photography works freelance for geo these days, and her travel cameras are Nikons. She shoots Hasselblads for the "Good Stuff" indoors, and has an assistant to wrestle with the gear and lights. Once again, I am not knocking Olympus cameras. They just don't have much market share in the top pro segment. It's funny, but when I was commissioning a lot of architectural photography, the very best photographers used 4x5 film almost exclusively and 2-1/4 when space was limited or they had to move fast. Hardly anyone used 35mm, and I believe 35mm film has significantly higher megapixels, as it were, than the best of today's more common digital SLRs. Digital is still catching up with film. |

Nikon and Canon are the two leading brands of professional-grade SLR cameras used by professionals all around the world. No other brands even come close in that market segment. Do you have a cite that shows "the rest of the world knows better"? What does that mean, anyway? |
