Olympus set to release a digital version of their legendary OM camera series?

January 15, 2012  |  Blog  |  No Comments


Woke up to a lot of chatter about Olympus releasing a digital version of the OM SLR cameras.

My first encounter with the OM came was some time in 2009 when I was buying some film for my Nikon F2 Photomic. This dude beside me had the Olympus OM-1 and that thing was quite a beauty and reminded me of the Nikon FM2.

Fast forward three years later and we have news of the digital OM camera.

When my mom asked me to help choose a camera (and chip in some funds as well) for my dad to bring for his upcoming holiday, I started looking around for options.

Is there a place for a Sony Nex C3 in my camera bag?

October 10, 2011  |  Blog, Reviews  |  10 Comments

I have never owned an Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens (EVIL) camera until the folks at Sony came along and asked if I am interested to do a review of the Sony Nex C3.

I did have some hands on with the Olympus EP-3 (and EP-2) and the Fuji X-100 prior to this and was feeling quite good about comparing the Nex C3 to them.

That plan, however, went down the drain when I realized that all other big boys like DPreview and Digital Photographer School already  wrote excellent reviews about the camera.

Therefore it was really pointless to write a matter of fact review and I decided to take a different angle when writing this entry.
