Vivid Light Photography #32
The latest issue of the monthly online photo magazine, Vivid Light Photography, has just been published. Highlights this month include a review of the Olympus E-1 DSLR:
“The ruggedly constructed Olympus E-1 digital SLR feels and handles like a conventional film SLR. Image quality is what you would expect from a five megapixel imaging chip: great at low ISO, somewhat noisy at higher ones. Images are crisp and well resolved aided and abetted by a series of sharp digital Zuiko lenses. The E-1 is a clean slate camera that’s intended for the photographer who doesn’t already have an arsenal of lenses that can be used with another brand’s digital SLR, and one who appreciates the E-1’s purity of design and attention to detail.”
and an article called Traveling with Digital:
“Just about the time I start getting comfortable traveling with 100 rolls of x-rayable film, and a camera bag that, thanks to tightened security, is now swabbed and thoroughly inspected, along comes the digital revolution. Of course, switching from film to digital doesn’t change the fact that the security folks may still want to inspect my camera bag. But just think of the tremendous psychological burden that is lifted off your shoulders knowing that memory cards aren’t affected by the x-ray machine!”
