Yeah, that's my problem. Photokina 2002 is supposed to see the Olympus
interchangeable lens SLR. Do I wait or jump for an E-20 ($1999) or E-10
($1499).
The Nikon D1X, at 5 megapixels, is way cool, but at $5000+, I'm not biting.
I just want an E-?0. Don't need it, just want it.
Maybe I'll hold off. February is awfully close.
