I sure hope so. $2800 for camera and normal lens is way too much, if the
comments about the 10D are on-target. (I didn't know they were going so
cheap.) I could justify $2000, with the 14-52 zoom, because that gives me
capabilities the E-10 doens't have (true wide angle lens (even if it's
another one), 12-frame buffer). $2800 is too much.

This, to me, is the big test. Olympus is making lots of noises about 4/3
being an open standard, but it's just so much hot air until other
manufacturers sign on.
