Robin Wong tested the old Olympus E-1

Robin Wong:

I followed Jon and Andrew to Sekinchan for a day trip recently. Sekinchan is a fishing village and they have a paddy field (rice plantation) too, making the place really amazing for photography. I took this opportunity to do another POV photography, bringing you guys with me, showing what was directly in front of me as I took my shots. I brought along the dinosaur Olympus DSLR E-1 and a Zuiko Digital 14-54mm F2.8-3.5 II (lens borrowed from Jackie, thanks). This is also a continuation from my “old cameras are great cameras” series. You don’t need trillion megapixels for good photography! You don’t need to break the bank to enjoy photography.
