Olympus - Opinions?

Cookin' the books, I suspect the value play gets passed on to the consumer =)

VI, that's great.... Isn't it neat system Olympus has created for the masses? I too have found the myself happily carrying 14, 20, and 45 with no care in the world. I'm eagerly waiting for the 75 f/1.8 to hit the shelves and will be soon replacing the aging E-PL1 with the E-M5 whenever it hit shelves (body only).


I totally despise crooks in business... especially when the penalties (at least in the US) seem to be relatively light. I am pretty confident the photo side of olympus will survive... at least I hope so. I think they (finally) have something going for them.

Hells yeah. I stuck a Pocket Wizard on of my 580EX II's and one on the E-P3 and used it to shoot some food photos for a carryout restaurant I did a review for. After that I got to try the camera out with my new dynalite setup. It's not the best at high ISOs when you're used to shooting with a 5D MKII, but I can tell I'm going to enjoy showing up to a band shoot with the E-P3 and my primes and a set of Dynalites. I'm hoping I get to scare the people paying me

Any idea why I'm getting a magenta tint to my photos? They're RAW files, so nothing should be affecting them. I've had to mess with the tint on the past couple I just edited.

Just pre-ordered the OM-D. My barely used E-P3 will be going up for sell tonight or tomorrow. B&H has a shipped date of 4/16 so hopefully there won't be massive 5D MKII like waits with this camera and I'll be able to get it fairly soon. With the temp getting warmer, I don't want to have to lug around the 5D MKII on the bike.
