Salah satu contributor di www.luminous-landscape.com, Sean Reid, merasa penasaran dg kamera DSLR pertama untuk standar four thirds, Olympus E-1. Untuk itu dia coba tulis review meskipun sudah 2 tahun sejak kamera tsb diumumkan ;))

Olympus E-1, A Second Opinion, Field Test, and Survey Results

Boleh dibilang tidak ada yg baru di review ini, tapi lumayan lah untuk tahu sedikit lebih banyak tentang kamera ini. Kesimpulannya:

"Overall, I think that the general design, ergonomics and lenses of the E-1 system are excellent. It�s a very useable tool. Its primary limitations seems to lie in the sensor itself (and related electronics). While the camera is capable of making excellent files at lower ISO levels, it certainly could benefit tremendously from an 8-10 MP sensor that performed well through ISO 1600 (and preferably through ISO 3200). The camera�s successor will certainly be of great interest. That said, I was struck by the generally high satisfaction level expressed by the professionals who are currently using the E-1 for their daily work. It seems to be one of those cameras that performs even better in actual use than its specifications might suggest. Perhaps it deserves more credit, all things considered, than it has sometimes gotten."

thanks for the url.... i am also about makin the switch from Nikon to this E-1

radix,
mau mencoba meracuni orang ya? ;)

memang om Radix kan Oly die-harder :))
Pengalaman saya sempat menjajal E-1 tempo hari, memang warnanya sangat cemerlang dibandingkan merek yang dibilang pak Ulli Burer (Direct output JPEG dari kamera)..

Radix kapan beli E300 sih? :-?

Aku pernah pakai E-1 dua minggu. Sekarang aku pakai E-300 selain Nikon D100 dan D2H. Olympus sejak jaman kamera film memang punya "kelainan" yang unik......Bagus pokoknya.....

ayo kak Radix... sikat saza!

terima kasih atas doanya kakak-kakak :D
semoga nanti saya bisa dapet E-1 + ZD 7-14mm f/4.0 + 14-35 f/2.0 + 35-100 f/2.0 + 100-250 f/2.8 + 300mm f/2.8 ... amin! ;))

E-1 overall cukup oke.. cuma harga lensa Zuiko-nya muahal sekali dibanding Nikon/Canon...

Bung Rendra:
rasanya harga lensa Olympus masih rata-rata sama dengan harga Canon/Nikon untuk kelas yang sebanding ya, sedikit lebih mahal, tapi lebih cepat. Berikut saya copy paste dari forum tetangga:

Lensa amateur Olympus:
Zuiko 14-45mm/F3.5-5.6 = 24.000 yen
Zuiko 40-150mm/F3.5-5.6 = 28.000 yen


Lensa semi-pro Olympus:
Zuiko 11-22mm/F2.8-3.5 = 80.000 yen
Zuiko 14-54mm/F2.8-3.5 = 55.000 yen
Zuiko ED 50-200mm/F2.8-3.5 = 90.000 yen


Lensa pro Olympus:
Zuiko ED 7-14mm/F4.0 = 248.000 yen
Zuiko ED 14-35mm/F2.0 =?
Zuiko ED 35-100mm/F2.0 =?
Zuiko ED 90-250mm/F2.8 =?


Lensa fix:
Zuiko 50mm/F1.2 = 85.000 yen
Zuiko ED 50mm/F2.0 Macro = 58.000 yen


bandingkan dengan:
Lensa amateur canon:
EF-S 18-55mm/F3.5-5.6 USM = 20.000 yen
EF 55-200mm/F4.5-5.6 II USM = 28.000 yen


Lensa semi-pro canon:
EF-S 10-22mm/F3.5-4.5 USM = 72.000 yen
EF-S 17-85mm/F4-5.6 IS USM = 63.000 yen
EF 75-300mm/F4-5.6 IS USM = 60.000 yen


Lensa pro canon:
EF 16-35mm/F2.8 L USM = 160.000 yen
EF 24-70mm/F2.8 L USM = 155.000 yen
EF 70-200mm/F2.8 L USM = 130.000 yen
EF 70-200mm/F2.8 L IS USM = 192.000 yen
EF 100-400mm/F4.5-5.6 L IS USM = 180.000 yen
EF 400mm/F5.6 L USM = 135.000 yen
EF 400mm/F2.8 L IS USM = 835.000 yen


bahkan untuk lensa kit E-300 boleh dibilang lebih baik dibandingkan punya Canon/Nikon, jadi tidak perlu ganti dg lensa EF-S 17-85 IS misalnya.
