OK, I have to weigh in on this one. This essentially claims that the E-1,
with Digital Zuikos, produces results equal to my D2X with a 35mm-intended
lens.
Ridiculous. Irrational. Unsupportable.
Just flat wrong.
Could I argue that it could match a D70? Sure.
A D2X?
No way.
Happy to accept the challenge :)
