I enjoyed writing this rather tongue-in-cheek piece, pricipally to stimulate debate on "Talk Photography," but I thought you might enjoy it here.

Re: E3 Better Than D3?
John,
That's brilliant. As they say many a true word spoken in jest... Can you post a link to the replies you get on this.
A little while back, I did this as a test of just how far you can reach out, when push comes to shove and you simply have to get the shot.
This was done with an E-500 with a Sigma 600mm + 1.4 converter will give you 1680mm
Go nuts and add another 2x and you have 3360mm
Both shot at 1/60th ISO 400
Can't wait to see what I can do with an IS body.

Re: E3 Better Than D3?
Of course this is very valid for telephoto photography but not for anything else where the D3 would win every time I guess.
Although not related to IQ the fatigue experienced by the Nikon user (due to all that heavy kit) would likely mean that they may not be able to keep shooting as long as the E-3 user and would therefore end up with fewer images. Oh, the joys of lighter kit!

Re: E3 Better Than D3?
Well what it tells me, which I already believed, is that different cameras have different advantages (and indeed disadvantages).
The sad thing is that most reviewing, in order to be comparable, uses a standard set of metrics and tests. And then, worst of all, comes to a conclusion that 'rates' the camera against its rivals. Just because a camera is 'good' for one application, does not necessarily make it better for all.
Reminds me of the old example I used to use when I delivered 'Quality' training (not original - nearly everybody used it). Which is the better car, the mini or the Rolls-Royce, well for everyday use driving yourself around then the mini might well be considered better (economy, parking, maintenance etc); which is the better car, well perhaps the Rolls-Royce (materials, construction, comfort etc). What then is 'quality' and which has it?, isn't it dependant on what you require, what measurement criteria relate to your specific needs?.
