Hi Bob,
Nice to have a place to comment on the 4/3 Olympus. I haven't gotten one yet, but I'm behind one right now. I saw a nice couple made by a E-300 and an Industar 50 small lens, and I felt that was my "compact" camera to wear around...
So hopefully I'll be soon asking for adapters to M42, Adaptall-2 and Contax/Yashica lenses for the Oly.
But by now, let's wait until the Oly will become real.
Best regards,
Jes. |
Jes, I'm reasonably sure this little pic made from a 1.2MP camera
didn't influence you in any way:
My e300 cost $215 ($205 + $10 shipping) and came with 3 batteries and
a charger, all paperwork and software, original box, not bad for an 8MP
camera!
I think you will like the e300!

I have to worry everyone but the 4/3 and m4/3 sensors are not even 5 mpx.
Their actual size is 1857x2476=4,597,932 px.
Hence, even the first E1 model had to have a software extension.
This is because all pixels are really of same size=7 um.
Perhaps it's true what it says here below that Sony has now made sensors with 3.3 um pixels.

This can only be confirmed under an electron microscope.
According to my calculations, the first Kodak SLR sensors they made from film cameras 30 y. ago were 28 um. |
