I had all but decided to pick up an E-1, especially when it looked like I
could still use some of my good Zuiko glass, but I just got news that has
pretty much ruled out the E-1. The stock agency that I deal with will now
only accept digital images from cameras capable of shooting a raw format of
17 Mb or higher. The E-1 doesn't quite have the resolution required.
I also spoke to the owner of the camera store I use (in Palm Harbor, FL)
and inquired why he dropped the Olympus line. It actually had nothing to
do with the quality or market of the E-1 - it was Olympus customer service.
In one example, he had a customer who purchased a high end digital about a
year ago and was having problems. Olympus' solution: buy another camera.
Not a good way to win friends and influence people!
Sigh - and I had really talked myself into an E-1 too.

Tris,
I wasn't kidding. The bokeh was outstanding, very smooth, very nice indeed.
