Bad news for the 4/3 crowd....
It appears that Olympus has shot their PR wad on new releases for Photokina, and there is no replacement for the E1. After the PMA excitement about the Panasonic 4/3 camera and IS Leica Vario, the summer 4/3 rumblings have been non-exisitent. Hope for your sake it doesn't go the way of disc film and APS, but sadly that… -

Re: Bad news for the 4/3 crowd....
I don't mean to be contrary, but a million exposures is an awful lot of exposures. The E-1 was introduced in Jun 03, so if you got one at that time, that's about 3 years and 3 months ago. Assuming 48 hour work weeks, and 50 weeks/year, I believe that adds up to 7800 hours total. Dividing 7800 hours into 1,000,000 exposures… -

Not true( hopefully ). According to the latest and greatest of the rumors, Oly will not announce any 4:3 related info before September 14. Rumors abound of at least 2 new bodies, maybe three. Although the highest end version is not expected to be a working model. I hope they announce something good cause I really like many… -

WE sure like our E1 and our E500. Olympus announced a 10mp E400 which at first glance doesn't look like a significant step up from the E500. I was a little dissapointed to learn that Olympus America does not intend to handle the new model. Their reason for this , which they've made public, is that they consider the E500 to… -

My goodness, how far back did you have to dig to find this thread? It's almost a year old! There are people who actually seem to have a morbid wish that the 4/3 system would die and I don't recommend that we provide any more ammunition for that death wish. I'm quite content to continue enjoying my E1 and let the arguements… -

Hi Bob My thoughts exactly - had to recheck the dates on the OP! Well, from wat I can tell 4/3's will be around for some time to come - the new 10MP NMOS sensors from Pana seem to be very promising - very good ISO800 and more than adequate ISO1600. For now I'm more than happy with my E1 - although the DMC L1 is at some… -
Re: Bad news for the 4/3 crowd....
I worked @ Sears Portrait Studio (for at least the past 3-4 years until I got more serious with school and acquired another job that works well with my sechdule). We use E-1s all day long. They're accustomed to abuse, we see so many appts sometimes we wish we had more cameras to handle the traffic. At first I was a…
