Review 3 of 73
Summary: This was my first major use of a digital camera, and I'll admit that I still prefer my steadfast 35mm. But this at least has me beginning to lean the other way. I take pictures of high school sports as part of my job, and I've gotten some great shots with this. The problem, though, is the zoom. I was used to a 300mm zoom, and even with the teleconverter we were getting just 147mm with this.
Speaking of the teleconverter, I urge you not to rely on this too much. There is a reason why Olympus made it free - they were tired of replacing the item after it fell off the front of the camera. Mine fell off four times before it finally self destructed. The first time there was a little bump, but after that it just fell off. When it finally broke, I would not even have noticed had I not kicked it. Strengths: Good color, good quality, fast lens Weaknesses: Teleconverter will not stay on camera Similar Products Used: Olympus D-490 Customer Service: NA
