I don't think so...The "real pros" use Canon over Oly for three reasons
- first, Canon came out first by a long time; two, most "real pros" were
already using Canon or Nikon equipment and were heavily invested in it;
and, third, the high-end Canon and Nikon bodies can shoot fast
sequences, which some sports shooters need, and many more THINK they
need...as though some of the all-time iconic sports images weren't shot
in the pre-motor drive era.
There is nothing that's "fake pro" about the E-1 - the question is what
one needs to do with it. Keep in mind that the vast majority of pros
are NOT daily newspaper shooters...they do PR work, event work,
portraiture, studio work, product shots, etc etc etc - and there is
virtually nothing they need in that regard that the E-1 doesn't already
offer, with some advantages over the competition.

That's why the real pros choose Canon over Oly.

You should get a 10D, it is cheaper and has much lower noise level.
