Hey gang,
Perhaps I'm whipping a dead horse here...I don't know. I'm an Olympus guy and have been for years. I started years back with the E-300 and last year upgraded to the E3. I like the olympus cameras but the photography outfitters around me don't ever seem to have much in stock for this brand. I'm tired of hearing "its a couple weeks delivery on that". Then there is the 4/3 to full frame debate...And Olympus has the new sensor now, right? What about megapixles? There are many things to consider...
Perhaps I'm just drifting...But I seem to be drifting away from my beloved Olympus. I have several lenses and other gear for my bodies. Changing brands now might seem absurd to some of you but I can feel myself gravitating away from this brand.
I know that there are many threads where the OP asks "which brand is best" and that's not what I am meaning to do here. But because I only truely know MY cameras, I'm having a hard time determining which brand I might want to flock to should I drop the E3. Basically, this thread is asking for a list of pros and cons (from people who use the gear and have intimate knowledge of the products) in regards to my E3 in comparison to other brands. I could only ever see myself going to either a Canon or a Nikon though (strictly for avaliabillty reasons).
One last thing...With the gear listed below (all in "like new condition"), what do you think I might be able to trade for. I'm OK with trading for just a body right now if that is what it takes... Educate me on what I might be able to expect in regards to a brand swap. I'm not interested in junk!
Thanks folks!
