kind of a follow-up post to my previous post from the beach
We recently spent three days in the Central Oregon Cascades (mostly around the Three Sisters Wilderness - an area which we love).
I decided to use the Olympus E1 exclusively, as I was intrigued to see what it would get me.
Not having a display that can be used for anything almost felt a bit like a throwback to film days - we had to wait until we were back home to see if any of the photos came out well
The biggest "downside" I felt was not having a live exposure preview in difficult lighting situations (-> take a picture, click "review", click "info" for a rough histogram, adjust exposure if necessary, take picture again, click "review", ... etc.)
Then there are a few smaller niggles compared to a current m43 camera, like not having live-view on the screen (for ground-level shots), or a digital horizon (got some wonky horizons )... Some of which can be simply "fixed" with better technique - others are definitely a shortcoming...
But, on the whole, I'm really happy with the results. It's mostly fun to use the E1, and the images come out mostly well (and sometimes really well )
