Hey
Do you think that although Olympus is doing a great job in improving the quality of their lenses,
it lags far behind the seasoned campaigners like Nikon and Canon?

Your views(even if they are different than mine) are Always Welcome !!

Regards,
Aditya (-_-)

Because of the different sensor sizes it is difficult to compare the optical performance as for example the Olympus lens has to project a higher line per mm performance to equal an APS or full frame performance. That is not to knock the Olympus lenses, but to rather point out lpmm data cannot be directly compared, as the Olympus may euphoniously look better.

I had heard that the reassuring solid build of the D3 meant that Nikon had the best camera for throwing at a would be assailant

Right on the money.

There are examples of work on this site where the image was derived on Nikon D70's / Canon 10D's - and earlier.

It YOU that makes the difference - NOT the camera.

I wouldn't know the answer to your question as I don't use both so can't compare. Not that it will stop some from saying Nikon or Canon is better than Olympus even if they've no experience of the marque.

Quote: A separate relevant question is - is Olympus going to stay in the interchangeable DSLR market?

The same questions where asked when the E1 emerged, of course they are.

Lol, I don`t believe they make either
