Do you think the 4/3 system is a good compromise between full sized SLRs and

No. The original 4/3'rds didn't really catch on. There is no reason to
suspect the newly revised version will, either.

Did you guys see this site?
It compares the different image sensor sizes with a 35 mm frame. Sure makes
the G10 sensor at 1/1.7" seem tiny.

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

Do you think the 4/3 system is a good compromise between full sized SLRs and
the tiny compact camera CMOS?

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.

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.

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.

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.

That may be true in North America, but the rest of the world knows

Where is that, Tom?
By the shores of Dongting Lake in Hunan Province?

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?

Gonna take me up on my offer? See your best stuff?

What the hell does an exhibition of my photos on your site have to do
with your claim that professional photographers in "the rest of the

You are an armchair expert. Either get out of the chair and prove your
capabilities or STFU.




My "capabilities" have nothing whatsoever to do with Tom's claim. Is
logical argument something you righties cannot fathom?

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.

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.

The camera does not make the photograph. Some really nice photographic
art has been captured with a pinhole camera or a Kodak Brownie. The
WORST photo of Tom's was far superior to all of the blown out, poorly
composed snapshots you have posted. Who could ever forget the mood and
emotion your captured in your Stumpy photo.
