Its like AA.... I have a C*n*n and I'm {insert word or phrase} of it.
I'd have loved to go for the E1 and the idea of a digital system designed
from the ground; I think Olympus made a super job with the E1 but........
If size and weight is a major issue go for the E1. If established market /
format / residual value is an issue it is a no brainer to go for the C*n*n.
If you intent to continue to use film with your digital glass then you can
always get a body to go with your C*n*n lenses whereas I doubt there will be
a film body for E1 glass.
For performance perhaps consider long term objectives. Maybe the E1 / 20D
performances are relatively matched (although at high ISO the 20D is a clear
winner) but with the C*n*n you already have a clear and proven upgrade path
- 1D2 or 1Ds2. Used 1Ds bodies are now hitting the market at very reasonable
prices (proving that there is residual value in the C*n*n).
Staying with residual values, when you come to upgrade to the E3 or 4 you
will find there is nobody to buy your used E1 body - who is going to want a
used body with no glass?
One factor that had a major influence on my decision is that my friends have
C*n*n kit and we pool this. I don't know anybody with the E1 system.
Finally remember that Olympus totally ditched us OM users without a single
qualm and made absolutely no concession to us with the introduction of the
E1. Neither C*n*n nor N*k*n have done that to their loyal customer base.
I love my OMs and I can give up any time...............

Hello Lars,
I've tried them both and here are my thoughts:
E1 is better from the 20D in built quality, ergonomics and color
reproduction. The E-system lenses despite from the ads are bulky and
heavy like the Canons- or they feel like it. The D20 Autofocus is far
away especially in the continuous Autofocus mode. The E1 is much more
quite than the D20. Finally the biggest issue with the E1 is digital
noise from ISO 800 and above whereas the D20 delivers acceptable images
even in ISO 3200. I own the E1 and the D20 came into my hands after a
two week trade with a friend.
He believes that the D20 isn't a big step over the D10 except resolution
(8MP vs. 6.3MP).
My suggestion is go for the D10 (prices are running low now if you
already own Canon lenses, otherwise go for the E1).
I have made my decision.
Regards,
Stylianos

Hi,
I haven't followed the discussions closely lately, so my question might
have
been answered already, but I'd like to ask if any of you have tried the
new
Canon D20 DSLR and how does it compare with Olympus' E-1?
Yours,
Lars
