Thew Olympus E-1 is now 15 years old and you can still buy them used on Amazon and [shoplink 71449 ebay]eBay[/shoplink]. And 15 years after we got a new review by Robin Wong:
Has imaging technology improved that much over the years that cameras from only a few years ago have become truly obsolete?
My answer is both yes, and no. Yes, imaging innovation has indeed come a long way and pushed imaging boundaries. On the other hand, I don’t believe any camera can be completely obsolete. If it can shoot a good portrait photograph 10 years ago, it can surely do the same today, and for several years to come. The Megapixels may not be sufficient for larger resolution displays, and the images may be lacking in terms of overall sharpness, dynamic range and color tonality but we all know that photography is a lot more than just technical perfection. I have to remind myself, to make use of what I currently have, before considering an upgrade which may not add value to my photography.

The Four Thirds System Forum designated April 3rd as Four Thirds’ Day, under the slogan of “A day to enjoy photography more”. To celebrate Four Thirds’ Day, an online exhibit of user-submitted photos is held every year.
For this year’s Four Thirds’ Day exhibition, we’re celebrating the tenth anniversary of the Micro Four Thirds system and calling for the submission of photos that were taken over the past decade using Micro Four Thirds products, that is, from 2008 – when Micro Four Thirds was launched – to 2018.
The decade of Micro Four Thirds has been an exciting one for us and our users as Micro Four Thirds has brought full-size SLR performance to a compact digital format that is defining the future of photography.
We strongly encourage everyone out there to take this opportunity to share with us and with your fellow users “a decade of you and Micro Four Thirds”.
Lucky participants will have a chance to win great prizes in a random draw!
All submitted photos will be shown on our website after the official exhibit.
