We understand there are lots of other qualities to concern but they are not
easy to tackle technically. In all aspects Olympus were not better than
other competitors except IS and movable LCD in E-3. I don't think the E-3
will be anything close to the 5D or even D200 in image noise, the speed of
operation will not be better either. We understand the limitations and
accepted them. I have some RAW images with E410, as long as the E-3 is not
poorer that is "ok" with me.
Olympus trade off the sensor size with a compact camera system (they
claimed), we expect there are something we can tell others about the 4/3 is
different but what we can tell now Olympus is catching up with the others
including weight, there is even not a single wide angle or standard large
aperture prime lenses (except the big expensive Leica 25/1.4). Yes, there is
a fisheye, unfortunately it double the size and weight of the OM 16mm with
additional chroma at the edges.
Size does matter to me, I sold the 10D and purchased the E-1 with 14-54 not
long from its announcement but I didn't purchase the 50-200 at that time
because it looks too big, it is just a 200mm zoom even with smaller image
circle why it is bigger and heavier than other full frame 200mm zoom? I
expect the 4/3 can be smaller in all aspects include the pro body.
Although I just sold the DZ50/2 and 14-54, I will still purchase the E-3 but
could wait until the clearance sales. I'm waiting for the 5D successor to
see how it will be priced or just purchase a 5D, my 30 OM Zuikos are just
waiting for a digital body to get back to work.
