<strong>Need newer Camera (from Olympus E-510) but not high cost E-5 for use with Zuiko four-third. Ideas?</strong>
I am looking for four-thirds or micro- four-third cameras
that will work well with
ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 50-200mm F2.8-3.5. (Some
have noted that this great lens, created for Olypus four-thirds, loses some autofocus
speed quality on micro-four-thords. But my lens is NOT the version with SWD...
and therefore I do not know if the quality of autofocus lost of just that of losing
the SWD motorised quality which would not apply in my case.) I shoot a lot of
kids sports and cannot afford most other high-zoom lens options that compare
(bought this sued for $600)...and therefore my desire is to upgrade the camera
as the E-510 is older and limited....but not at the high price / limted gain of
the E-5. Are there options to use newer models that the E-510
that have viewfinder, shoot video, and have some general gains from the older Olympus
E-510 (i.e. better autofocus, ISO usable range, etc). In particular, will my ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 50-200mm
F2.8-3.5 work (presumably with adapters) with any of the following and how
well?
<strong>Olympus OM-D E-M5</strong>
Panasonic DMC-GH5 (would be my first choice in cost, video
quality, bigger size. sensor size)
<strong>Sony NEX 7</strong>
Any help and advice is REALY APPRECIATED.
