Olympus EVOLT - 8 MP Consumer DSLR (four thirds)
http://www.dpreview.com/news/0409/04...lympuse300.asp
8 Megapixel consumer DSLR from Olympus ... will this be a formidable challenge to the Canon Digital Rebel and the Nikon D70? Will this be the big break for four thirds? Three new lenses too ... http://www.dpreview.com/news/0409/04...mpuslenses.asp -- "We are twice armed if we fight with faith." (Plato) -Richard Cockburn |

No. On the surface, that is what one would expect, but the first time DSLR owner might not be as concerned about that. Look at how many people are buying these 8MP cameras like the Pro1 ... with a 2/3 sensor. If the price is right, Oly might actually have something here. I still plan to buy my 20D very soon. My EOS bag is pretty decent, and this now Oly model can't touch the 20D. I'll also be keeping the 10D. Nonetheless, I still like to see competition among the manufacturers, and it will be interesting to see how this affects the entry-level DSLR market .... if it has any effect at all. -- "We are twice armed if we fight with faith."

Sure, but how long until Canon packs the 20D sensor in an updated Rebel body for $899? Olys high noise glory will be short lived. I still plan to buy my 20D very soon.

I'd expect more competition out of Minolta or Pentax than Oly. At least they (Minny and Penny) haven't tied themselves down to a nowhere format. -- http://www.pbase.com/bcbaird/ |

I'd like to suggest an answer for the Naming question on dpreview: The inquirer wanted to know why Oly can't just call this new one the E-300 or some such. Look at the number of posts in this group around the time Mr. Canon introduced his 300D that were from Brand New users who referred to their cameras as "Digital Rebel". Still happens. Watch how many who go for the Oly and show up talking "EVOLT". How can you expect to combat a REBEL with an e-something? -- Frank ess |
