Practically every piece of camera equipment I own is used. And a used
E-10 or E-20 may actually be a very good choice. But "used" combined
with expensive, complex electronic gear does not generally stir my
wallet enough to part with its contents. Oly USA periodically tosses
some refurb'd E-10's and E-20's on the bay but the price is still in the
$800-900 range for an E-20.
I hadn't considered the resale end which is an important point. However
I will not likely sell it soon as it will become the backup and carry
anywhere camera. The A1 is attactive there because of its small size.
