today went for PC fair..
got chance to hold and play with various DSLR

first i saw Oympus and played with its E330 and E500.
Nice,not very heavy,the lens smooth when u zoom it.

2nd,Nikon.i played with its D70s and D50.
yah D70s is definately heavier than E330 and E500 and D50 is slightly lighter than D70s also.the lens.. not as smooth as Olympus.

3rd,Canon.the 350D.
yah the colour production is better than Nikon as i saw in their LCD panel compare with Nikon's(maybe i am too noob so cant really fully utilising Nikon's laugh.gif ).Lighter.the lens.. yah not as smooth as Olympus and about the same with Nikon.

P/S: all the lens are standard kit lens for each of them.

Conclusion:
i like the Olympus's lens that made me zoom smootly and steadily. smile.gif
just wonder izzit the difficulty to find Olympus's accessories(1st or 2nd) makes many players change their mind to Nikon or Canon..

dunno much bout olympus E330 n E500 but i read in photo magazines the photos taken by E300 tends to undersaturate in almost all conditions sweat.gif n olympus is using a unique four thirds (4:3) sensor so very hard oso to find a 4:3 lenses except for olympus lens themselves. but oso heard the zuiko olympus lens is growing kinda fast oso smile.gif

The E500 is actually not bad. If you don't need ISO800 or above.
Currently in the four third bandwagon is Panasonic, Sigma & Olympus. Sigma does produce lense with 'four third' mount. And later after Panasonic launch its 1st dSLR, we might even see Leica lense with 'four third' mount.
BUT price is another issue lah.

maybe bcos of the smaller design of olympus body n lens tongue.gif the olympus 4:3 lens r small (1 advantage) n the sensor that the camera is using is oso small (advantage + disadvantage) blush.gif

or maybe olympus wanna make camera that is user friendly rclxms.gif

dun say anything bout 350D shakehead.gif although the performance is competitive compared to other low end dSLRs but i can say the handling is one the worst among all SLRs due to the extreme small desgin... doh.gif

no plan since no more discount tongue.gif i'll still stick to D70s. played with it today together with the 350D tongue.gif kinda fun rclxms.gif but actually the handling in 350D can be improved if a vertical grip is added smile.gif olympus...what should i say...i still not so convinced with the four thirds system that they r using sad.gif they sacrifice the size of the sensor for the sake of smaller design n lightweight sad.gif in fact i love big cameras like the D2x n 1D mark IIN but no money to buy tongue.gif

n another funny thing about 4:3 photo i wanna share tongue.gif remember bout the FZ30 i used to use? rolleyes.gif it is oso actually at 4:3 size. when i develop 1 of the photos (a chicken), that fella (i think an ameteur) print out the photo (unaltered) of the chicken n lemme c...n when i c it, it has only half of its head biggrin.gif another half gone liao bcos the photo paper they r using is longer n shorter tongue.gif should be a 3:2 size photo paper tongue.gif
