[ Tech ] - EP3 User Reviews / Opinions


I don't normally write in the forum here but this is something that really puzzles me. I have a E5 and I am very happy with the 12mp sensor. I do take my pics in RAW and I can show the jpeg pics on my 52" plasma and it comes out super sharp up close. I do not need a bigger sensor as it does me no good and will just take up more storage space. I do not print in A0 size nor do I expect to have my pics as wall design.

The reviewers talks about bigger mp as if it's a better thing. It's almost like in the auto industry saying a 4 wheel drive 6000cc MPV is a superior vehicle for the average family because it's bigger. Unless I drive off road / carries all my in-laws and their dogs around, I rather have a better performance saloon rather than a average MPV.
 

Right... thats why oly is still sticking to its "tweaked" 12mpx sensor for the e-p3.. but even then, many calls for them to use the latest 16mpx sensor from Panny or find another supplier... i guess in the consumer side of things .. more mpx is better.. just look at the new sony announcements... 24mpx.. but in the samples on dpr, the images dont look that good..
 

It's like the 10mpx cameras on mobile phone... just a waste of storage space.

Bingo!!!!!

You should write more in this forum. Btw it is possible to print A0 size from your E5.
 

If I do not want to use the plastic kit lens on EP3, what are the quality glass alternatives?
 

There are also a few new lenses being announced this week, so look out.
