Thanks Joel,
For me the big difference was that the 7070 cost me 3/5 of the cheapest
possible price of an 8080, giving me an extra 2000DKK / 300USD towards my
future purchase of an E-300 or similar. Then I can use my many OM lenses!
Does anyone have any comments on the relative merits of the E-300 and E-1,
by the way?
