I am looking at all the options at the moment and as part of this exercise, I
went to CCI camera in Providence, a division of Hunt's Camera.
I wanted to check on the spot and possibly buy the E-1.
Instead, I got sensory overload...The seller was well informed. He was not an
expert by any means, but very well informed.
The E-1 was next to the C*n*n D20. And guess what happened...I got the pitch
for the D20. I was given all the usual reasons why I should stay away from
Olympus and instead choose the worry free purchase. EOS kit was less expensive
than the OLY digital in their store, although, I think the lens in the former
was much cheaper...
I was impressed by the E-1. I felt at home with it as I did with the EOS
system before and a the time I had them together, one in which hand. The
viewfinder was so bright and actually I could see the whole thing...IMHO the
quality of materials in the E-1 is several degrees higher. I did not get to
play much, because the batteries of the E-1 "ran out of juice".
The behavior of the salesmen sure hurts Olympus.
That's all for now
