Olympus E-1 UK price confirmed
Olympus
UK has today confirmed that the body only list price of the E-1 digital
SLR (including 17.5% VAT) will be £1699.99. This means that at least
initially the E-1 will be approximately £200 more than a Nikon D100
and £450 more than a Canon EOS-10D. Assuming the E-1's street price
drops once the immediate rush is over we could see it matching the D100
at £1499 (inc. VAT). In my opinion this price is simply too high
for a new SLR system. We still don't have official pricing for lenses
or accessories.

The OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm F3.5 Macro IS PRO is finally here! Chris has opinions.
The Canon EOS R8 is the company's latest mid-level full-frame mirrorless camera. It brings the sensor and autofocus from the EOS R6 II and combines them in a smaller, more affordable body.
The Canon EOS R50 is an entry-level, company APS-C mirrorless camera. A 24MP RF-mount camera aiming to attract smartphone users and, perhaps, vloggers.
See what Chris and Jordan think of the Canon EOS R8 after shooting in Charleston, South Carolina.
The Canon EOS R50 is inexpensive. It's tiny. Is it good? Jordan and Chris dodged alligators in South Carolina to find out.
