Questions & Answers

Shopper : I have an E-600 Olympus with associated 14-42mm and 40-150mm lenses as well as a Zuiko 70-300mm later acquired lens. (1) Are these compatible with the E-5 frame? (2) One of the problems with the E-600 battery is not enough long term power to operate the70-300mm lens effectively. Do you have a compatible battery pack that would provide that power to the E-5 if the lens is compatible? (3) What if I were to try and trade in the E-600 frame only, or frame and lenses, and start over? (3) Why Olympus as opposed to Canon or Nikon?PAULA F : I have the e30 with the 50-200, 12-60mm as well as the good macro lens. I tried the e-5 but did not like it. The quality of the Olympus dslr is very good but the lenses have to be good quality. The more wide open the f stop the better (f2.8 or lower) since more light comes through. The zuiko lenses you have hould be compatible with the e5. The problem with the 4/3rds system is that it uses a smaller sensor so the camera is not good at low light. I still have my Olympus system and continue to use it but I purchased the Canon 5d mark 2 with the 24-105 kit lens and it is definitely better at low light. I am gradually switching to the Canon system since their products are very good quality and their menu system is much easier to use, in my opinion, than the Nikon's. If you are looking for an upgrade, also look at the canon t3i or the canon 60d. I purchased my canon from adorama and am very pleased with the customer service and return policy. I hope I've been helpful. Paula
