E System
Having been a Canon user since the days of the T90, I recently made the jump from 35mm SLR to a Digital SLR, I guess considering the amount of EOS lenses etc I had, it would have made more sense to have purchased a 300D or a 20D.
However having played with a E-1 for a weekend I have to confess I fell in love with the camera, Olympus really have done a great job with the whole of the E-System.
Having heard horror stories about sensor cleaning and the such like, I decided to purchase an Olympus E-300, drawn to such features as the Supersonic Wave Filter that ensures dust and other foreign particles do not interfere with the function of the CCD - Six months of near constant use and changing lenses not one spot of dust on the sensor !!!
Interesting now that Panasonic have jumped on board with the 4/3rds system, I guess we can all expect some new lenses and possibly a new body from Panasonic, that could be interesting, Leica glass, Panasonic IS, who knows what they have planned ?
Olympus really do have a gem of a system, six months down the line, I'm more than happy with my purchase. I haven't look back since, cracking picture quality, good levels of build, alround nice feel to the camera.
Love it !!
