Well...I bit the bullet. I've been thinking of upgrading my Olympus E-300 for some time now. Not because I have out grown it or because there is anything wrong with it - more because I suffer from an illness known as "Need-To-Have". Don't know what it is about me, but I felt I just needed this darn thing!!
Anyway...Its an eBay buy. Payed $825 USD for it. It has less the 6K shutter acutations on it and comes with everything it would new from the factory. I'm thinking that I made a decent buy - what do you folks think?
More importantly...What are your honest, experienced based reviews of this particular camera? I don't see many Olympuses for sale in the used section at Henry's Photography and I've always felt that was a good thing. If people aren't selling them then they must be happy with them.
Of course I have all of the equipment from the E-300 that will mate wonderfully with this E3. A series of lenses, a 2x teleconveter and wireless remote shutter releases. Even when I bought the flash, I made sure to buy the FL-50R model and not the FL-50 so I could utilize the wireless capabilities (I was thinking ahead).
So lets here it...Those of you who use the E3, would you ever trade for anything else? Regret buying the E3? What are your favorite features? What do you dislike about it?
Cheers! I appreciate the input!!
