What is at the moment the best digital SLR?
I´m thinking in buying one of this Digital SLR, the Olympus E-300 or the
Pentax IST D, what do you think of them? |

For low light the Pentax will be better. (don't be taken in by the "full frame transfer" blurb in the Olympus ads; the sensor in the E-series is smaller than the APS-sized unit in the Pentax, so the pixel sites are smaller). The supersonic wave dust filter in the E-300 is nice, but unless you are in a particularly hostle environment dust can be dealt with. For everyday use either will work reasonably. Your choice of lenses on the Pentax is better (including twenty-year-old second-hand lenses), although in theory a full kit based on the Olympus would be lighter. There again, if lens availability is a major consideration you should look at a Canon solution. Personally, if you are considering the E-300 I'd have thought the *ist-DS worth lookin at; it does almost everthing the *ist-D does, but costs considerably less. |

Same here oops - my reading comprehension could be better I consider E-300 or IST DS. The IST D is to expensive. /Roland |

The E-Volt isn't available yet, so we don't know if it's any good.
Comparisons are impossible at the moment. "rv" wrote in message ... I´m thinking in buying one of this Digital SLR, the Olympus E-300 or the Pentax IST D, what do you think of them? |
