For those that use Canon or plan to use it as a platform for their OM
lens collection, you have a cheaper 35mm sized sensor alternative,
the Canon 5D announced today. No multiplication factor and 12
megapixels in a 20D style body.

It will be interesting to see who Olympus brings to the prom. I hope it is
not that freshman girl he has been dating for the last couple of years.
I am puzzled as to why Canon would build a camera body with a huge sensor, a
pretty fancy price and no environmental seals. Dust on the sensor is a big
problem with every other camera other than the e-1.
Were I sitting on the fence and wanted to use my Olympus lenses, I'd still
probably go with the e-1 or wait out it successor. For less than the 5D body
would cost me, I could probably buy the e-1, the normal 14-54mm lens and the
7-14mm Digital Zuiko.
