I've discovered this as well. I never shot enough with my OM's due to
the cost of film and developing. We were self-employed stained glass
artists for 10 years, and money was always tight.
Now, I'm not afraid to experiment, because I know if a shot is bad, I
hit "delete" and I'm not out any money. I believe my E1 is finally
going to teach me to be a better photographer.
