My first "serious" small camera was the C-5060. Loved it. Sharp, accurate, beautifully made. Had the grip and wide angle/tele converters, too. Why in the world did I sell it???

Seems to me that Olympus has already cancelled production on new DSLRs, whether they've stated it openly or not. In any event, what's that got to do with having your 50-200 repaired? You can always...

Thanks Keith. Coming from someone who also shot with the E-5, that's quite an endorsement of the E-1. I use Capture One Pro for processing and LR for file sorting. What Capture One can do for...

Thanks for all your input. Good stuff to read. I'm looking into more lenses at the moment. I already have the 14-54 V1, 40-150 f/3.5 (V1; very underrated lens) and the 25mm f/2.8. The lenses I'd...

Thanks. Very similar to the settings on my E-510, except I go to -2 for everything and can shoot ISO 400 w/telephoto or cloudy day using fast glass.

Glad you're still enjoying your E-510. Great camera. If and when you get a chance, download a free trial version of Capture One Pro 7 processing software ... that is, if your computer can handle...

So very common. The most common thing is being asked to work for very little, like $50 to shoot an home interior for a real estate company. "Offers" like that happen frequently. Then there's the...

Hmmmm .... not sure about that. Someone around here has been posting things about 17" X 22" prints coming out great whether the file is 5MP or 12MP or whatever. Have you read those posts? Very...

Thanks. That's what I hear, too ... despite its age. We shall see.

... I've decided to purchase an E-1.  I know, I know. "Only" 5MP.  Noise, noise, noise.  Almost useless LCD.  No IBIS.  No video.  Slow.  Heavy.  A tired old antique. But I don't care. I'd like to...

Thanks very much Bob. I'm always appreciative of kind and thoughtful comments like yours. We spent 3 days in Rapid City during a cross-country drive in 2008. Stayed at the Alex Johnson in the very...

Thanks Bob. Really informative. I guess I've been doing "creative sharpening" without even knowing it. I often will mask a background (using a simple lasso tool or some such other), feather the...

AA filter design and construction isn't quite that arbitrary. According to a friend of mine who owns a reputable optics company, the "thickness" and other characteristics of an AA filter are based...

Yes, it's certainly difficult to put into words, but it seems at least one person ... you ... is seeing what I'm seeing. Your technique is a bit too complicated and time-consuming for my purposes,...

I concur ... except the E-30 is also an option. They're priced somewhere between the E-3 and E-5. I've seen them going for $475 in great shape, $599 is perfect condition. KEH has them. E-5, though,...

Bob: I think the above has been a central issue since time immemorial. I remember a test/focus group performed by the then great LIFE magazine where they showed a single picture ... one of the...

For sure. It's a very complicated medium. Thank you for your post. Very informative.

I had no problem with the claim. I had a problem accepting the claim is valid. Well, just two minutes ago I printed an E-510 image to 17" X 22," beginning with the full rez version followed by a...

Maybe not. I can't say because I haven't shot with either camera. But there are certainly downsides to many other cameras that upped their pixel count, ie the 5D II vs. the 5D Classic (the former...

Aren't there too many additional factors involved? Really hard question to answer. Maybe impossible. - SteveG
