MSF, so what did you go for next? (excuse if it is earlier in the thread) And why?
I must say that I seldom do photography now.. it was almost as if I waited for the E-3 and when I got it, I lost the passion. So mine has moderately little use.
So I'm still learning the E-3 and am a bit perturbed by finding how noisy the E-3 is... any dark areas in the frame that are under exposed... well lets just say I'm not that impressed. [I'll play with the Noise Filter settings and see what they do]
But Olympus gear had compelling points, fully sealed bodies at far less £ than 'canikons', the tidy range of lenses all of them pretty good, the dust shaker, pixel mapping, automatic image correcting (vignetting, distortion, etc), etc. All of these where incorporated inside 4/33rds from the off.
I liked that about Olympus gear. But those small sensors... :-(
