This beauty of a public transport vehicle is 45 years old and still going strong - it has years of life left in it! Some of its fellows are pushing 70!
E300, 14-45

using this as an example, does this mean that a 2 or 3 year old camera will still produce pictures?

You make a very valid point. It just shows that we live in an intensely consumer-driven society, where we are led to believe that every product we buy must be new and up to date.
An we are all on that bandwagon in one way or another.

My new E-300 delivers great pictures now. With normal use, it will be capable of the same in 15 years time (I hope).
No real reason to buy anything new.

But will advertising and hype create an itch for the latest mega-pixel-superfancy-gazillionISO-kitchensink thingy???

Nice photo of a handsome vehicle, by the way!

Regards, Tore

Yes Torre, I wonder how long my I'll be using my E300. Its now one year old. I used my OM1 for 25 years without a problem. I'm guessing that if I get 3 years out of the E300 I'll have done OK - 5 years and I'll be amazed - 10 years and you'll have to pick me up off the floor!

Lovely picture - took me back a year or two to when I was there.

Delightful place.

TB,

I'm on year 4 with my E-10s and they still work well, as well as they did in '02. I just added an E-300 and I'd expect it to be as good.

BTW, I just started a 'blog using the same site as yours, just not, yet, ready for publication. I've enjoyed your posts and the stories that accompany the images and will attempt to do the same with mine.

Equipment in profile.

If you can visualize it, then create it in the camera, finish it off with the print that matches your mind's eye then you are, most likely, a master...

Let us know when the blog is ready Bill - I'd like to see it. Good to hear about the longevity of your E10. I hope you're right about the likely lifespan of the E300!
