In Photography, the Future Is Now
Since getting my Kodak Easy-Share digital camera, I'm enjoying photography a lot more than I ever did with film cameras (well, except maybe for my first one, a Brownie box camera that I got for $2 plus a lid from Aloca Wrap, as I recall). But I work in a department that has two professional photographers, and I daily get to see the stunning work that today's high-end digital cameras can produce (granted, skill still helps). A good candidate for the ultimate amateur's digital camera is the Olympus Evolt E-300.
Here's what one review has to say, in part:
Designers of digital cameras try to make sure the camera can automatically set the focus, aperture and shutter speed. But the designers at Olympus have gone further, designing a camera that removes dust. ... Inside the Olympus Evolt E-300, an 8-megapixel digital single-lens reflex camera, is a dust-reduction system that relies on ultrasonic vibrations to remove particles that may collect on optical elements.
The review goes on to explain how the dust-removing mechanism works, then says:
The Evolt E-300, which after a $100 rebate at olympusamerica.com has a list cost of $900, is intended for serious amateur photographers who are accustomed to single-lens reflex, or SLR, designs, in which the user looks through the lens for focusing, rather than through a separate viewfinder. It has many features not found on typical point-and-shoot models.
Now that the camera has been on the market a short while, I'm pretty sure you can get a better deal from sites like Amazon.com, even considering that rebate if you buy directly from Olympus.
