Rick,
When using the wide angle attachment, do you find
any loss of quality in the image ?

Bill,
I'm just using the built-in flash on the E-10, works
pretty well for me. I just completed an all indoor shoot using the flash for a
community theater production. They set aside 1.5 hours for my work so they
could help the playwrights construct a story board for use on the web to
market the script. This was set in a 130 yr. old farmhouse with hanging light
fixtures in the middle of each room, the camera and flash handled all of this
well.
I prefer not using the flash for indoor shots as long as the people
are posing for me. Then with a bit of photoshop magic, I have great shots
without any flash shadows. I think the E-10 lens is sensitive enough to use
without the flash for stationary people, try it you might like it.
The maximum distance inside I've used the flash is 15-20 feet for a group
of 7 people, very nice shots.
One problem I ran into with the flash was
when I tried it with the olympus wide angle attachment lens, using the flash
with it caused a big shadow as the flash caught the edge of the lens producing
a BIG shadow.
Hope this helps,
Rick

Rick,
Thanks for view of your pictures and your
comments. E-10 seems to do a fine job. Are you doing any flash
work, and if so, what are you using.
Again, thanks,

Re: Digital Plunge
Hi Bill,
I've had the Olympus E-10 for several months
along with the additional lenses, and it is still surprising me with it's
flexibility.
If you'd like you can browse some pictures from a road
trip I went on, most of those are from the E-10, only a few are from a
toshiba digital which I found to be a great quick shooter.

the screen called "road trip"
If you have any trouble finding or
accessing the site drop me a note.
I have taken a few thousand pictures
with the E-10 so far, just in case there are some special types of
pictures you'd like to see. I could email them or post them to the
picturestage site for you to look at.
I take photos as a hobby for
performing arts groups, portraits, etc....besides long road trips like
you'll see on the picturestage site.
I read hundreds of reviews,
probably like yourself and decided the olympus was for me. I'm now
purchasing the power grip and LI-PO battery set, since even the best
rechargables are not stout enought for some of my photo
opportunities.
Hope this helps,
Rick

Well, I'm trying to decide which digital
camera to get, but with so many out there it has almost become a
nightmare. I would like to ask the list what you would recommend as a
minimum camera I would use to learn digital and yet be able to
sell the final product. My output is going to be either a printer that I
own, or send the images to a lab that will give me teaditional prints. I
know I'm asking a lot, but it seems the more I read, the more difficult
my decision becomes. I currently shoot Nikon, so a D1 series unit will
be down the road, but not today.
Would appreciate any help that can be
provided. Sadly, the local camera stores in Chicago appear to want to
just sell the camera and ask questions later.
Thanks,
