<p>Olan Mills uses Olympus four thirds. They picked this camera because of its sensor size. It matched 35mm film format closest when they first started using digital. They did not have to retool all of their lab stuff. I own a E-1, the camera they were shooting with a few years back. I do not know if they upgraded to the E-3 yet.<br>
My local lab has produced 20 by thirty inch prints from the E-1 five mp camera. Superb results and Olan mills was also doing the same every day. Because of the sensor makup and design with less hardware and larger photodiodes the five mp camera shot more like a seven. They called the sensor in the E-1 a full frame transfer. What ever that is. I think it is called that because of the abscense of hardware on the sensor surface.<br>
My experience with Olympus is that it produces some of the highest quality cameras. Who came out with the anti dust sensor? Olympus Who was first with in body stabilation Olympus again. Who built the first digital camera designed for digital from the ground up. Olympus. Digital specific lenses, Olympus again. The sensor on a DSLR prefers light hitting it in a direct straight line. Lenses that are not digital specific hit the sensor at oblique angles.<br>
I would not hesitate to buy any of the Olympus DSLR cameras but if you want the IS it starts out with the E-520 and up.<br>
I have owned my E-1 for years and never a hickup. The only reason I would want a newer model is they have come a long way with noise reduction and the monitor on the E-1, well you just about have to have a magnifying glass to see it. I love the larger monitors and the technology behind them. Mine is practically useless in sunlight. Though a little outdated my E-1 remains a workhorse of a camera.<br>
Besides, can't afford a new one now anyway. But I do like the Idea of a full frame sensor and If I did switch I would go to Canon. My honest opinon of the four thirds sensor is a gripe about its size. I do not think they should use anything over seven mp but they go up to twelve. That is why my preference on a new camera would be a Canon with a full frame sensor with not over 12mp. A sensor with larger photodiodes creates a cleaner image than one with more photodiodes but smaller ones. To much static build up. (noise)<br>
