Thanks in advance as always!Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: You are right!. Olympus does not have the number of lenses because it is really a new design !.!.!. 4/3rds!. Most pros have been shooting with 35 mm cameras for years, so their composition is based around the 3:2 image ratio !.!.!. for intuitive shooting, staying with what you know and feel is really the only way to produce fluid image streams found in shooting projects like themed fashion or many sporting event photo essays Canon, on the other had have been making lenses that fit their DSLR cameras made since 1988 (except EF-S lenses cannot be used on any of the pro 35 mm or DSLR bodies) Nikon, the big daddy of them all can use any lens made since 1959 but for a handful of old fisheye lenses!. Even the entry level DSLR's can use all the AF-S and AF-I lenses made since the early 1990's While all three have excellent optics and reliable bodies, it all comes down to which company has the best depth for your style of shooting and the range of subjects you tend to shoot!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I'm sure they are both good cameras, but as you said, Canon will offer more for you in the future if you plan to expand!.!.!.they have an established and extensive line of lenses and accessories!. Canon is usually ahead in terms of the technology!. The rebel is very lightweight!. It's usually a choice between Canon and Nikon!. Now if the Olympus has some special feature that the Canon does not have, then it would be okay to favor the Olympus decision!.!.!.especially if you do not plan on buying a lot of additional lenses or accessories for it!. And even in the case where you end up buying Olympus with its lenses and decide to switch later, it's no big deal since you can resell on eBay!. If you are trying to keep your costs down, consider buying used lenses for whatever brand you end up with!.!.!.they resell at almost the same price (vs!. reselling a lens that you bought new!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com It all depends on what you want to do with the camera!. If you need every lens that Canon makes, then you need the Canon camera!. 95% of the Canon market place, though, can do with two zooms, something that would cover the 35mm 28-75 and something that would equate to the 35mm 70-200 or 300!. Olympus has recently come out with new lenses and will contine to build its line!. It would be wise just to buy the camera package that you can afford and not worry about 3000 lenses that will be available to you!. I have been shooting for eons and the lenses that I use the most, both prime and zoom, fall within the ranges listed above!. As for pro photographers, they are used to the 3:2 ratio, but the real pros also shoot a lot of medium format which inclues the 6x6, 645 and the 67 formats!. The 6x6 is square, but the 645 and the 67 format, heavily used by pros, are closer to the 4:3 format than they are the 3:2 format!. Therefore, I respectively disagree with fhotoace!. Fhotoace keeps bringing up the number of lenses for Canon and Nikon in selling against other manufacturers, perhaps someone should ask him how many of that myriad of lenses he has and of that group, how many he uses every day!. Www@QuestionHome@Com Both Canon and Olympus have very great lenses!. Both offer similar image quality!. Both would be very great for most anything!. The biggest flaw* with Olympus is that it uses the 4/3 system, or a 2x cropped sensor!. What this means is that all the lenses are doubled the actual focal length!. That is why you see some strange focal length lenses, like the 7-14mm Zukio!. This is great if your a sports photographer, but bad if your an architectural photographer!. So, between the two, I'd go with the XSi!. The E-510 would be a very good alternative, though!. Www@QuestionHome@Com |
