big ugly box? and i'm sure you meant ttl optical viewfinder, instead of EVF (electronic viewfinder)...
Free course? Damn, nobody tells me these things.
Anyway, I've had my e10 for quite a few months already, so I don't know if the free course still applies to me. Besides, I bought my e10 off ebay at its current selling price (but had some pretty nifty extras thrown in)...Oh, and as for the flash, I have a few that I use -- but they are not TTL, meaning either I manually set the power, or it has some sensor that detects light, and I just set the camera to adapt.
These would be the Vivitar 285HV, and the Suntax 9000DT (the more recent models, of which I had the pleasure of "beta-testing" for the Suntax folk). If you know how to test flash trigger voltages, you can look for the Achiever 260T's that have the low trigger voltage (like the ones StreetShooter has).

:embrass: Heh, yep, the TTL optical viewfinder. And as for the ugly box, I'm refering to the black rectangle which covers 1/3 of your lcd screen when you press your info button, which toggles between the focus length and aperture info screen.
If you still have your receipt handy, you can give it a try. Bring your receipt to Olympus service centre (there's one at High Street Centre, opp parliament house), they might still give you admission to the course. And, you might want to bring some of your best shots for printing, I think they'll only charged you for the paper.
Thanks for the info regarding the flash!! :gbounce: :gbounce:
Yum...yum... I need to do some shopping...
Anyone....the spec says that it does not support Microdrive? Is it true? I pretty like the camera.Have thought of getting one too.
Also, it can support a vertical grip too right?:dunno:
Thanks

i would also like to know the disadvantage and advantage of supporting or not supporting micro drive?
how is the battery life like if EVF is used most of the time. asumiing i have no money to get the battery pack
thank you

The advantages of using MD is that now, the price of a 1GB MD is just simply too good to resist.
EVF? Sorry I don't think that E10/20 has any EVF on it. It is afterall an SLR. You see thru the len....
Well there is no EVF......that LCD and it diff!!! what the point? seeing thru the len is so much better!!!! the effect of filter are much more clearly seen on the OVF then thru the LCD.....
I never said through the OVF is lousy lah! Just that it's a bit different from other DLSR in that the flip-out LCD can be used for composition.
Never say you say it!
hehhehahahaaaa
Just one of the good thing abt it! Anyway, got check out the E20 w grip at CP?...it BIG!!!!!!
Yes, Bluestrike...I saw the E20+grip+flash at CP. Looks good though......so no Microdrive for E10?
Ehmm... by EVF - did you mean the LCD? I wouldn't recommend using the LCD for composing normal shots at all.
The optical viewfinder is much much better. However, I have used the LCD once in a while when I have to raise the camera above my head so it can see a certain scene better.Battery life, let's see...
I use Sanyo 1850 nimhs, and have the preview setting to "auto" when I shoot. Meaning, when I take a shot, a preview is displayed on the screen until I press something or after a certain period of time.
A pack of four batteries lasts me from about 9:30 am to about 3pm on a regular weekend day's shoot (I guess I stop for a 20-minute lunch or so somewhere during that time).
As for microdrive support, some E-10 users have reported success using a 340mb microdrive, but definitely not the 1 Gig one. Er, I think the E-20 can use the 1Gig microdrives though... or at least I thought it would be able to?
Here are a few links that might be useful:
