Subject: Re: [OM] Blurry Digital images, clear OM shots
I agree totally. If I had the money for a top end DSLR I would swap within
an instance. I have used my Oly OM-10 and this is supposed to be the runt of
the litter as far as OM's are concerned but I have taken great shots with
it, I have used my works Kodak DX3900 and have enjoyed good results with it
but you don't get the control you need. I have borrowed my brothers Fuji
Finepix S602 and have also used a Fuji S1 Pro to take wedding images for a
company that runs our photography club. As you go up in digi specs the Oly
beats the Kodak hands down, is better than the S602 but for many situations
they would be on par but the S1 for ease of use, speed and instant
verification of a shot beats the Oly hands down. I have seen the D60 in use
as well and with ETTL and better colour reproduction would top that again.
There are still situations where I would use the Oly over a digi but for
situations that require speed and knowing that you have the shot, top line
DSLR's would rule every day!
Cheers Adam... preparing to be flamed to death... I still love my Oly,
Honest ! :-)
I agree too. The week before last was the first time I shot with the
100-400Lat the motorsports testing at Laguna Seca. The ability to
review what I was doing and immediately make adjustments was
invaluable. Nothing like instant feedback; making changes right away
meant that my photography improved continuously through the week.
Moreover, I was able to shoot and deliver images to the track PR
dept. that they needed *that day*. A shot of the new garages that I
took was on their web site the next day. The other thing that is
invaluable is the ability to change ISO "on the fly" as it
were...parts of the track were bright, but other parts really
dark....I could go from ISO 100 to ISO 400 depending on where I was
at the track. Way cool.
