Pentax Olympus
Posted on Thursday, July 23, 2009 in Photography
What are the advantages of getting an Olympus Evolt 500 over a Canon, Nikon, or Pentax DSLR?
I am interested in information on the Four Thirds Standard and it's relationship to shooting picturs at a high ISO.
The only advantage I can see for the Evolt 500 is the Four Thirds system, really. You can use a Leica lens on the Evolt 500, or a Olympus lens.
At high ISO, I'd say any of the Pentax, Canon, or Nikon excel. The sensor on the Evolt is smaller then the dSLR's from the others in the same class. A smaller sensor will give you more digital noise in low light situations, where you'd use the higher ISO.
I think the Four Thirds system needs another year or two in market development before I'd trust it would be a stable platform. It could very well go the way of the APS cameras, or even the Disc cameras from the 80's.
Personally, I shoot Pentax. They don't have the limitation on using new or newer lenses since thier dSLR's are all compatible with all K-mount lenses. That dude above who is dissing Pentax is blowing bubbles. Name one other major camera suppier who not only has pro-quality dSLR's, and also medium format cameras. Nikon, Canon, and Olympus do not have the advancements in optical quality or technology that Pentax has. They have marketing, and that is about it. It's like buying a Ford because everyone has one, but a Honda is a better car, and they have the technology to produce F1 race cars.
