We went to the Photo Expo Plus at the Javits Center in NY yesterday. On the
way in, anyone carrying a camera was stopped and told that "taking pictures
inside the exhibit was prohibited unless you get specific permission from
each exhibitor". I said "I can't use my camera in a photographic equipment
exhibition?" then I laughed in her face. People in the Olympus booth knew
nothing about it and commented that such a request was ridiculous.
I had a chance to handle the E-300 and was quite impressed. 8 meg using the
new Kodak sensor. It felt very sturdy. Rep said would sell for under $1000
retail with the 14-54 lens. The feeling and heft alone put the C*n#n
Digital Rebel to shame. The Verve (available in 6 colors) is a very cool
little digital camera. Very small streamlined body, has no conventional
viewfinder so LCD is used for all framing. 4 megs.
