John Foster says exactly what I've been thinking, with the benefit of hands-on with the E5.
Some... person recently posted a comment saying they'd buy my E system kit from me. Well, if I hadn't wasted all that freaking money buying it in the first place, that would have been great. Unfortunately, it's resale value is somewhat unlikely to buy me an adequate replacement as the state of finances prohibits any investment in camera gear for the foreseeable future. Fed-up? No, I am absolutely freaking furious, not with Olympus for being a second-rate camera manufacturer, but with myself for being a complete sucker and believing their horse feathers.
About Me
- Hugh Weller-Lewis
- I go by the name of "HughOfBardfield" on the various forums I belong to, and on Flickr, where I Admin and Co-Mod a number of Groups. Have been taking photographs since age 6-7, taught by my photography-mad father. Started taking photographs professionally in late 1980s, and have recently started again after pursuing other professional avenues (which involved commissioning and art-directing other photographers!). I specialise in landscape and social documentary photography, but am also experienced in macro and press work. I am also an award-winning public relations professional , specialising in community engagement and consultation. I can also produce advertising and editorial copy to the highest standards. Incidentally this blog has nothing whatever to do with Olympus or their subsidiaries - I merely use their products and your mileage may vary! Caveat emptor and all that.

Yo Hugh. I really enjoyed Flikring your pictures, with some winning ones, from what I learned at a camera club in competition. One I saw of York at night was good as I tried night shooting there and it isn't straightforward.

Hi Hugh, don't be bitter about Olympus. This E5 (which I own) is a fantastic camera. I would say, sell some of your lenses and buy an E5 an you can enjoy your system for at least another 5 years. Many people are still using their E1. I bought myself into the brand just recently. For the same type of system from Canon or Nikon it would have costed me double the money. And btw, OVF and mirrors will dissapear anyway, also with the other brands.
Cheers, Rudmer
