First Post - Sort Of! And what happened to Olympus?
Hi everyone. This is my first post with this account. I was a member of this forum previously but had been away for quite some time. When I came back, apparently my account must have been hacked because when I tried to log in I was permanently banned for spam. My old screen name was erikzen.
One of the reasons my interest in this forum (and photography in general) was rekindled is that I will be taking an Alaskan cruise this summer and was thinking of upgrading some of my equipment.
But what happened to Olympus? I have an E-520 which I've been using for the past 3 or 4 years. For the most part, I like the camera very much but started thinking about some new lenses or perhaps upgrading the body. I was very surprised to see that Olympus seems to have all but abandoned their consumer level DSLRs in favor of the micro 4/3 cameras. The only DSLR they still sell is the E-5.
Is that basically it for Olympus; are they going to concentrate only on the micro line?
