The 10D (and I think as most 6MP SLR DC today) is really good, consider how
great it is as you can change ISO setting from 100-800 for each shoot with
very fine grain and change color balance without the need of a filter. IMO a
6MP DC is good enough for most applications unless for the landscapes which
target for big enlargement.
Don't overlook the 75-150, it has very good resolution the only problem is
high distortion at both ends but the problem is less with a small image
sensor. If your are interested there is an original shoot from the 75-150:

I bought the 10D since it can make use of all my Zuikos but it also has some
limitations so I cannot totally rely on it. The small finder and lack of
auto aperture stop down mechanism slow down the operation, since you have to
spend more time to focus. Hence it is not so suitable for fast and accurate
work but for stills and preset focusing it is ok. The 1.6x mag also cause
problem as the widest lens I have is 18mm and it is just like 28mm in 35mm
format, ok... I got a 160/2 with my 100/2 at no cost :-)
The SARS is serious affecting the economics here, the restaurants lost a
lots of business and many of them are considering to close for a period
until the confidence of people is back, that also mean the restaurant
employee will have no salary for this period and not everyone can afford
without income for one or two months. The Airlines are loosing huge money
everyday and no one knows how long they can survive... just too bad.
Fortunately I have a stable job and got some money from selling of OM stuffs
so I can still spending this big buck in my toys...
