How is the 1D MORE weather sealed than the E1? Just wondering why you
think
YOUR brand MUST have better weather sealing..


WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOUR SPECIAL BRAND IS??????

Why? Because -YOUR- main criteria is low noise at high ISOs? You're right
if
YOUR main concern is low noise at ISO 800 and up, the current olympus
offerings aren't a good choice. There is more to image quality than this
to
me.

Great then you buy them.

Stacey, shut up.

You're incredibly stupid. You can't post once without describing some
Canon/Oly nightmare world that only you live in.

Go look at the Canon 1 series environmental seals. They've been well
known for being EXTREMELY WEATHERPROOF for years.

I think Stacey is a news reporter in real life, never let the truth get in
the way of a good story. LOL

Show us some image quality possible on the E300 not possible on a Canon.

Yes there are pro's using these just like there are pro's using nikon and
canon. Just because they aren't using them on the sidelines of the
football
field doesn't mean "pro's" don't use them.


You are actually serious, aren't you??

Yawn...

Again I suppose you watch the guys on the sidelines at the football game and
decide "All pros use a Canon"...

Seen the info, they look like they should work well. Are most/all of the pro
lenses sealed as well?

They've been well
known for being EXTREMELY WEATHERPROOF for years.

Again how is it -more- weather sealed than an E1?

Why couldn't he say "They have the same weather sealing features that a 1D
has" instead of implying that -or course- it's a notch below what canon
produces?

You guys are too much!

Why bother? You'd just claim the same shot could be done better with a
canon.

The two cameras don't have the same color pallet and the E-300 IMHO does a
better job with highly saturated colors in regards to not "blowing" them
into a mass of color with no detail. I've also noticed after shooting with
both that the E300 doesn't blow highlights as easily as the canon does.
There are things the canon does better but it's not a "it's better in EVER
reguard" like you seem to believe. This is just my subjective opinion which
I'm sure I'm not entitled to have here?

The dudes on the sidelines of football games are hardly pro's, mind you,
because you mentioned it, if they "were" using an Ei or E300 on the
sideline, what lenses would they be using. Bad example, do you actually have
one where they are being used?

So was the Sigma SD9.

Not really, I can't believe that, despite claims by both the mfr and Steve
G. that Sigma had any real expectation that the SD9 would work as a pro
camera, since the film body upon which it was based was never considered
at
that level, not even by Sigma. On the other hand, Oly built the E-1 with
features that, had it had image collecting hardware to match, certainly
would have put it in the pro class, like the weather sealing.

There are still magazines claiming the Fuji S-3 is a consumer camera
and it's nothing of the sort.
