Hi guys,
Need some advice/info on the digital system before I surrender my monies to the shop. :bheart:
I used Canon film system previously, but had sold it off to finance my studies. I used to own a 24mm/F2.8, 50mm/F1.8, 100mm/F2 and 70-200mm/F4, along with a 420EX and EOS 33 (camera body still in my cabinet). There is no problem on rebuilding a brand new system from which camp, to make life easier since I am seeking advice/info. I am using the system for non-profitting purposes, if it matters.
I am basically a wide guy, with 85% of my photos from the 24mm/F2.8, 10% from the 100mm/F2. My main interests in photography are architechs, landscape, scenary, abstracts and macro. Other necessities are family and friends shots.
I am leaning towards the 4/3 system from Olympus, with an E3 + 12-60 SWD for general shots and 7-14 or 8-16 (if it ever release) for my wide adventuring. If I ever need, a 50-200 may be added to "complete" the tele needs. 3 lens walk the world? The ISO noise aint great and the processing may be inferior to Canon's in my personal opinion. In-camera IS, Dust Buster and Weather Proofing Body are some nice things to have, but at a small cost. I can accept the ISO 800 quality personally. DR and colour reproduction are my other concern for E3. Of course the naked 7-14 will have no protection from direct contacts....
I am a rough guy and so the system should be tough enuff to withstand certain knocks.
It may be another 3 years or so before the FF/FX becomes more affordable, but best if I need not change the lens ultimately, which is my other reason for the 4/3 system.
I welcome comments for other equivalent quality (especially for the wide part) systems, but no flaming please
