[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]The new Olympus has a four thirds sensor (the kind you love) and interchangeable lenses but is LX3 size. I'm sure you'll be able to get an adaptor for your Nikon glass ;-) ;-) ;-) Using the patented Rabiner Speak doesn't the LX3 have a half half half half half half frame sensor with matching crop circle ;-) Still in debate what we'll all call this new breed of camera. Oly wants us to call it a Pen! The forums seem to like EVIL, (Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lenses) which I can't see catching on with the makers and only fits the G1/GH1 actually. Maybe we'll have to settle for MFT from micro four thirds. . 2009/6/21 Mark Rabiner <mark at rabinergroup.com> > DPREVIEW says the Olympus EP-1 is up against the Panasonic Lumix lx3 or > Leica D lux 4.
