Khen,
I welcome your sharing in OM-knowledge very much!
This was meant very much ironic, I rather like all this knowledge and
these tidbits, as I am sure most OM-listees and listettes do.
I didn't see that much list traffic for ages, and that is a good sign!
And I think that Olympus should be honoured by the list's attention for
the OM-series, would they have followed our discussions
the E-X could have an OM-4 metering mode with dedicated "shooting mode"
buttons, and not menu items. Having to push a button and turn a wheel
simply to switch to spot metering (single :( ) is a dishonour to their
own engineering history.
The shooting SPEED of the OM-series is something they really should
consider in the design of the next pro E-series body.
In a way you feel that Maitani really cares to take pictures, making
the process as easy and intuitive as possible. Sometimes,
when using the E-1 I really think: do these designers ever use a camera
in real life? However the E-interface still suits me best of all dslrs
:) What just baffles me is that one can customize the E-1's two control
wheels in A, S and P-mode, but not in M-mode! So much for logic :)
Iwert.
