Re: Why Olympus?
I have had one bad experience with a card reader so far that has made me a bit wary of using them. I popped the card in it, downloaded the shots to my computer and deleted them - and the card was then no longer readable nor detectable by my camera. Thus, I usually connect the camera directly and allow the Olympus software to delete the shots on the card once the download is complete. I have not had any problems with my cards so far doing this. Occasionally however I run out of space and have to use a new card - then I end up using my card reader. I'm always anxious about it until I get the card back in the camera to see if it still works...
As far as the monitor screen goes, I found the following site "shieldzone.com" and orderd a custom shield for my E-3. Time will tell if it works.
I also couldn't help but notice my E-1 was built in Japan and my E-3 in China. I know just about everything is built in China these days for economic reasons but I just have more confidence in the "Made in Japan" label. Nevertheless, I am very pleased to have my E-3 and am sure I will be an Olympus customer for many years to come.
