Olympus finally revealed their flagship DSLR last night, the E-3. A year ago I got tired of waiting for a replacement for my E-1 and bought the D80 when it was first released.
My photographic output increased tremendously. I developed a working style within a few months and I’m working on my second year follow-through. For the most part, I’ve used my Nikon film legacy lenses including the 50mm f1.8 (this image), the 24mm f2.8 (which lives on the camera) and the 70-300mm f4-5.6 G. In the spring I added the 12-24mm f4 DX because I had nothing wider than the 24mm, which provided a film FOV of 36mm.
Looking at the E-3, I see no reason to switch back from Nikon. The only real E-3 advantage over the Nikon equivalent (D300) is in-body image stabilization. Since I have little trouble hand holding a 1/30 exposure with the 24mm, I feel comfortable with Nikon’s VR approach at the telephoto end.
