haha....e3 or e30? tell you what....with the technology that is built inside E-P1. You better wait for the successor of E-3

[michaelnct]

when E-4 comes, people will ask you wait for E-5, and so on....... :duh: go for E-3...... no regret! unless you want HD video in your "camera" Then diff. story. 20 cents!

agreed, 1st of all, ask yourself what you want this camera for.... then only you decide.

happy shooting! :willy_nilly:

well, based on dpreview..E-3 got average score 8.8333333333 and E-30 got 8.666666667.
So I vote for E-3 ...he he..

since i hv both, here's my scoop:
E-3 feels better to use.
E-3 produces better tones at lower ISO

E-30 better ISO1600+
E-30 has Art Filter which I use more in öly Studio

Overall, I still pick E-3.

:iagree: betul betul...... turn to the "Dark Side"

[mafia_boyz]

D700 is nice... 5Dmk2 also nice... but i have 4 oly lens.. so how? haha

[lkm51]

Wat else....sell!!! :d

[mohd raime]

wait no more, go to want to sales thread...:sifone:

[michaelnct]

faster...... sell all your lens to fund your 5DMKII.

[brandoneu]

you're lucky to still have only 4 oly lens. those of us who have more will find it harder to switch.

the bottom line for me is, if you want to switch, switch now, but be prepared to invest at least rm 30k and above for a d700 and the trinity lenses.

Will stick to Oly until end of the world! :cheers2:

The choice between E-3 and E-30 is simple: You are a heavy user, then go for E-3. If you just do some pictures and like to have a fully fledged DSRL, then go for E-30.

Price wise the E-3 is almost at the same price level - there is a Oly promotion - as the E-30, so the choice is obvious.

For myself I'm very happy with the E-3 and would not give it up for anything. It's a camera which some friends of my already called an alien camera, because in very bright light it sees clouds which we could not see with our naked eye.

[mohd raime]

the choice is yours. i feel lucky to start off my photography with oly. why?? check photomalaysia buy and sell forum for example, a lots of canikon gadgets throw in everyday (even every few hours). so with limited available oly' lenses in 2nd hand market, i can save my money (salary). btw, i used my e500 kit lenses for nearly 1.5 years before bought 11-22mm. ask yourself, how long you can say NO everytime you check Want To Sell section...:whistle:

E-3 wont be a wrong pick.. unless you are technology freak who only want the latest technology... :D

[michaelnct]

remember to buy the kit lens package (E-3 + 12-60mm). you wont regret...... :congrats:

[mohd raime]

but the package only valid until end of jun 2009.

Will stick to Oly until end of the world! :cheers2:

You have my vote! :hurray: I'm a happy user of 4/3 too. The color is just something!
