Not sure the reason she review E330 with Leica and Panasonic. In my = view, E330 and Leica/Panasonic are products under different category in terms build quality and price. Of course I agree that OM produce very good cameras, I have some pro = friends are still using E1 even now.=20 tt=20 -----Original Message----- From: leicareflex-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx = [mailto:leicareflex-bounce@freelists. org] On Behalf Of Chris Birchenhall Sent: 2007=C4=EA4=D4=C219=C8=D5 15:58 To: leicareflex@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [LRflex] Re: article from Amateur photographer Hi The article appeared in the issue dated 10 February 2007 and was written = by Angela Nicholson. Angela just puts the Olympus (89%) just above the = Leica and the Panasonic (both 88%). Her summary verdict favours the Live View modes of the Olympus but the traditional control layout of the Leica and Panasonic, but she continues so: "The real deciding factor between these three cameras, however, is the quality of the images they produce. All are capable of producing high-quality images, especially in raw mode, and many will be very happy with their A3 prints. Even though you must take a little more care over = the exposure with the Olympus E-330, especially if the highlights are to be retained, this camera produces the sharpest images across the = sensitivity range. It also walks the line most successfully between high noise = levels and excessive noise reduction at the highest ISO ratings. Images from = this camera are most 'filmic' and less overly digital in quality. The considerable cost saving that it offers over the other two cameras also makes it exceedingly attractive." The break down of scores are: Leica Olympus Panasonic Specification 28/30 26/30 28/30 Build 18/20 17/20 18/20 Handling 17/20 18/20 17/20 Performance 25/30 28/30 25/30 The review runs over 8 pages and is supported by numerous samples. I = will try to see if I can scan all or part of the article if there is an = interest.
