That is partially correct, but the 4/3" inch sensor that announced by
Olympus was four time the area of the E-10 (the one for compact DCs are even
smaller than the one in E-10), you will get not to bad DOF control. Of
course I would like to have CCD size something like the current D-100 or
D60. I don't really want full frame as the lens can be smaller with smaller
CCD.
