January 27, 2005, on Olympus E1 Review:
I am celebrity photographer, I bought my first olympus e1 in early February 2004. I have an E1, a grip, 11-22, 14-54 and 50-200, FL50 flashgun and battery pack.... The results from my e1 and lenses seem to sharper and more flattering skin tones than my colleagues with their Nikon D2H's In my opinion the E1 and 4/3 systems are flawed, good ideas badly implemented but have great potential. Olympus want to be consided pro camera makers but the E1 only does 3 frames per second and the new olympus e300 even less. I feel that I have been moderately successful, 'despite' the e1. Their lenses have no zoom or focus lock, no image stabilisation. And there are no FAST lenses other than the 50mmF2 macro. The most useful lens, the 300mmF2.8, equivilent to a 600mm on a 35mm camera is far too expensive...I would love to try the 300m with a teleconverter... ok...more work to do....must go..
