What to do...

Hey guys!

This will be a short post... Nothing much... So yea... I spent most of my day thinking about the future of Olympus four thirds system. And well... As said, if my E-1 dies and cannot be repaired or my E-3 dies, I shall buy an E-5, if both are to stubborn to break down, I shall buy the E-5 when prices reach 1.8 or 1.7k.

So I was thinking... If they ever do drop 4/3s or screw up so bad that I'm gonna change, I'm going for Nikon. Chances of me changing because Olympus screws up is quite low, take the E-5 for example, sure they didn't do well with ergonomics, but its all good under the hood. Better images with some new features though nothing that really kick ass. Its said this is the last traditional DSLR from Olympus, if they do change to EVF and make it smaller, but still using the 4/3 mount, I'd still probably support them. But as I've said, probably the only real time I'd change is IF they drop the 4/3 system, though most likely by then... The m4/3 would be able to perform the same as DSLRs in all aspects. But I plan for a Nikon system.

D300s or/then D700 body (for 35mm size sensor), 14-24 Ultra Wide Angle (UWA) lens, 24-70 lens and 80-400mm lens along with SB900 flash. That would be my base system and then build up from there, though the UWA lens would be the last to get.

But of course, I hope Olympus does improve with the next flagship camera in all aspects. Image quality for me now is very good, ISO 6400 with noise reduction set to high gives me little noise and retains detail, which is good news for ISO 1600 and ISO 3200! So I'm sure that the next flagship will be good in terms of ISO. Though other things can still be improved, the current E-5 is already very good. Why the E-5 is good enough for me simply because I'm kinda old school, I don't need the fancy functions, Live view is nice to have but I usually use right angle finder, I'd prefer colour,image quality,dynamic range. Though art filters are nice, can be done in photoshop though not exactly the same output.

So yea... i didn't make a birthday wish this year, and I now know what I want to wish for. i wish that Olympus will have the E-1 ergonomics and improve their colours to amazing proportions as well as the dynamic range and don't drop the 4/3 system. Thats' all I wanna say. Good night everyone!
