Alas, it's true. I finally filled my empty threats and bought into a
different system. The name has a 3 in it, but the letter is not an E,
rather the letter which comes before it in the alphabet. I wrestled
long and hard with this one, but in the end decided 4/3s wouldn't
suit my ever all-consuming needs. That said, the plan is to keep the
Oly stuff for a while until the needs thing settles out. Not to
mention that Nykon's teles are priced a little out of the range of
someone who just choked up for a D3. Maybe next year. (And let us all
pray, Please Lord!, for a good year next year. {8^)-
That said, the freaking camera is marvelous. On the downside, I've
had to hire my wife, a personal trainer, to get me into shape to
carry it around. With 24-70 attached, it's roughly like carrying a
M-16. With the 70-200, which is backordered, exchange M-16 for M-14.
But, at the same time, I can walk around with auto ISO set for a
range between 200 and 3200 and get really top quality results. It
also allows me to set minimum shutter speed when using auto ISO,
which means when just walking about I can switch into mindless mode
and concentrate on pictures.
I feel like a brand new driver that's been handed the keys to a
Ferrari. There is much to learn about this machine, never mind the
part about switching systems.
