Olympus Camera Model Purchase

[Raist3d]

So which camera have you bought recently of the 4/3rds system if any? You already had one so you didn't buy one? Your you jumped ship? Or you had somethign else and bought nothing?

That's a good time period as I got my first DSLR in August of last year. My purchasing went:

E-1

E-330

Canon 5D (sorry )

+ a number of Olympus and a few Canon lenses. Thinking about it I spent way too much in such a short time period . But, it's been fun and I use them all regularly (still enjoy using the E-1 more than the others).

I'm not likely to be buying any bodies for a while - even if the fabled E-3 turns out to be just what I was hoping it to be. Would still like to get a longer than 200mm lens for the Olys, and something longer for the Canon - but not desparately looking...

I voted for nothing. Actually, because I bought nothing. No Olys, or or anything....

Paul wants me to buy an E-1 though, and drop $1300+ on lenses....

I hear you on not buying cameras vs other things... I for one am contemplating light equipment.

I still have in working condition my iPixma 5000. I am amazed it can do photographic quality with mere 4 color printing- but that's because the drops are 1 picolitter(!). But I have decided to not use it to prints photos much anymore since Costco (US) prints archival pictures with good quality for far less cost per use.

The Canon customers (not all customers)
pass their time to extol the quality of their cameras without to watch itself around :-P

E-400 is one of new OLY slr camera will be presented at Photokina

Spend more time on here Matteo and you will find that I am not a Canon homer or groupie like others tend to be. I read about lots of different cameras and other photo related stuff, this my question. I have always been intrigued by the 4/3 sensor, but more intrigued by the Foveon one.

I think it is your "will be presented at Photokina" that answered my question...
