Olympus admits a try at "pro" would gut their 4/3rds system

It really doesn't matter what the frame proportions are within a reasonable range of 1:1 to about 2:1. Photographs are not supposed to be stuffed into a restrained proportion anymore than a painting is. Part of the brag of the 1.5 crops over 4/3rds is that it is a bigger frame. It isn't if you crop it even a little. You only crop if you need to for whatever end use is needed. So the counter argument goes that when you need a larger aspect ratio photo, 4/3 wastes more pixels while getting less resolution for the image. -- -- r.p.e.35mm user resource: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpe35mmur.htm -- r.p.d.slr-systems: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpdslrsysur.htm -- [SI] gallery & rulz: http://www.pbase.com/shootin -- e-meil: Remove FreeLunch. -- usenet posts from gmail.com and googlemail.com are filtered out. |
