Errr - yellow carpet...

Oh yeah - details. That's Michael Imperioli from the Sopranos, who is also a filmmaker. And since I was there with Olympus, this was shot with the new Olympus E-5 digital SLR and their fabulous Zuiko Digital 12-60mm f/2.8-4.0 zoom lens.

Great shot! I love my 12-60, thanks for that recommendation. I'm currently debating back-up system of the same (used E-3 body to compliment my current E-3) or new primary body (E-5), relegating my current E-3 body to back up.

A lot of the time I recommend the less expensive option. In this case, and for the indoor event stuff you shoot, I think the E-5 offers real improvement. Olympus worked some serious magic on the image quality of the E-5. You will not regret it
