Hello everyone, i have one question, i have a chance to buy cheap this camera olympus camedia e-20p, is this camera good enough for microstock photo?
-
No.
-
It was good enough 5-6 years ago, but technology has moved on a little in the 9 years since it was released...
-
Yes it has only 5 mp, it should have at least 8 megapixels
-
No
-
I still have it but do not use it anymore, not good enough.
I ll go for a e-510 10MP u can find it cheap I guess now
-
I am an happy Olympus user, but e-20p is a fixed lens camera, a "bridge" camera between point&shoot and a real reflex; also, image quality is not good enough given today's standards - useful as a general purpose camera but not actually for stock.
If you choose Olympus, go for the E510 as MicrostockExp suggested. I have one and I'm very happy with it; although kit lenses are a bit soft: start with kit then buy a proper lens as soon as you can.

As were are in the Olympus topic here are the lastest rumors about the E-5 and modular camera :http://43rumors.com/ft4-the-first-olympus-modular-camera-will-not-have-a-removeable-sensor-box-and-no-fourthirds-100mm-macro-lens/
I guess we should wait for Photokina in September......
