Olympus headquarter persons didn't shot photos - "shot they customers".
How else can anyone explain that they take the decision to stop the
production of the best cameras system ever made?
Why is the best? Just to mention few.
1) Very small body and lens.
2) Is almost the only with too many useful high quality accessories for
almost every need.
3) Is independent (don't need a cargo of batteries)
4) Very stable - never left you
5) can shot 4min long at automatic
6) has 1/3 step of stop - speed and diaphragm.
7) can shot at 1/2000 with the flash
8) a unique fantastic quality serial lens for every use.
9) you can get it with you from the top of the mounted up down to the sea.
10)Don't need to buy all the OM system to start working.
11) it's not a plastic toy-camera :)
and the one and only best metering system that even now in 2002, no other
camera have.
I can use it to found the correct expose from simple photos, to panoramic,
to everything.
Of course the question is: who knows how to shot with that system.
And the answer is: A lot of people - but not the people that shell it.
Olympus rush to stop OM system and go to digital.
Why is that ?
Why so rush ?
Why he has stop the promotion of OM some years now?
Why OLYMPUS didn't develop an OM-5 digital?
It's so difficult to put a small digital back on the OM system,
or even develop a new body? Every one else did it.
Maybe some digital can do some job - but imaging to move out of the close
studio to shot (eg) more than 100 photos? Can you carry out a laptop? or a
new hard disk that plug it to the camera and save that photos?
How can you really do that out side of your studio if all digital stuff
request electric power.
OLYMPUS headquarter says: "We give for free a 50000 meter USB cable so
don't
worry about the connection with the power and the data."
We also know that digital cameras loss the value in few months because new
models always get out.
And tell me something - why am I going to buy an Olympus digital camera now
with all accessories.
If after some years Olympus stop develop it the same way is stop that OM
now?
But what am I say ? - all ready has develop few digital and all ready has
replace them.
It's a good why to get money from your customers and shell them cameras
that
never keep more than a Year.
With a system like OM we can't do that - so we must kill it.
- AND NEVER MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AGAIN -
(so don't ever wait a good system like OM anymore from OLY guys)
----------------------------
I suggest to search and find a solution or a way to press Olympus to still
product the OM or else it's better to find and learn some other camera
because olympus didn't care about us.
----------------------------
They cares only about how much more money gets from us.
They don't care if all of us we love to shot photos.
Just care to shell us something and take advance of us
- take advance of our love to shot photos.
That's why shot us.
