Olympus loans E3 to UK photogs for field testing
As reported on biofs.com this month:
Olympus UK gives an E3 to a group of British photographers for field testing on an outdoor photo safari weekend in Derbyshire, UK: © biofs.com
John Foster reports on the website:
"A weekend photo safari was organized for Olympus users some time before the E-3 was formally announced. It struck the organizer, Brian Mosley, that it would be a wonderful opportunity for Olympus to glean 'authentic' user opinion by giving the group access to an E-3 for true 'field' testing. Olympus agreed. The company also agreed to allow publishing of the results from the weekend, the opinion of the camera and some of the results on a completely independent website, rather than any Olympus sponsored sites."
"As to the weather, it ranged from overcast in the woods, to drizzle and overcast at Hathersage... to gale force fine rain on Mam Tor, to glorious dramatic skies and sunshine on Carhead Rocks and Higger Tor - the E-3 sailed through all conditions, producing outstanding results throughout."
