There's been a lot of talk about how Olympus should add instant histogram review in a future E-1 firmware upgrade. Actually, whilst I would not mind seeing this, I don't find the two-click approach need now terribly inconvenient. What I do think is a problem is the lack of a permanent ISO speed display. Really it should be in the viewfinder. It is as important as aperture and exposure. Twice now I've shot a whole series of photos at the "wrong" ISO. although clearly I should realise that there is something amiss when I'm assuming I'm at ISO 100 and in fact am at 800! Instead I started thinking to myself that I should get an ND filter, and at least I'm not using a Nikon that only goes down to 200! But... had I not made this error, I would have missed out on some quite nice photos, like the one below, where working at high ISO made me work at higher shutter speeds than I normally use for "water" shots - and the results are quite good.

Well I haven't posted here for a long time. Partly because I was away in Cannes, attending the 3GSM Conference - basically the most important 4 days of the year, work-wise. But also because I've been concentrating on web site updates. I've now completed revising my online photo galleries, and the E-1 now starts to make an appearance. Since I provide a "by camera" index, you can quickly see which E-1 photos I feel are suitable for display.

Let me know what you think!
