Bill sent me some sample images from the E-1 taken with a
selection of ancient Zuikos. I'm still getting around to putting
several up on the website (maybe in the next 48 hours). Anyway,
the results are impressive. I printed a couple 11x14 sized
pictures and found absolutely nothing holding me back. I just
did some resizing of the images to get to my primo-deluxe 300dpi
setting for the Canon S9000 printer.
The picture quality difference between the E-1 and my A1 is
startling. Same number of pixels, but totally different look.
The E-1 truely produces "film-like" images right out of the
camera.
I'd consider the E-1 because I can now start to pick them up on
the used market in an affordable manner. The ruggedness of the
E-1 is a HUGE selling point for me as I'm not very gentle on my
cameras and I do like to shoot in the rain once in awhile. I
figure that I'll be bored with whatever digital I get in a year
anyway, so I might as well get yesterday's dogfood. Oh, and the
ergonomics are the best of the best. I plan on shooting a
film/digital combo for another two years yet.
One question about the autofocus speed of the E-1: How does it
compare to the autofocus speed of the IS-3? (I'm quite happy
with the IS-3's AF speed--good is good enough).
