What I meant is that Canon has stopped at 8MP in the likely price range
for an E-3. Pricewise, it's a long reach in the Canon line to more MP.
Oly no longer has to worry about trying to do a 10MP low noise sensor
at the 30D pricepoint. They could simply decide that the E330's 7.5MP
Panasonice sensor is good enough for the E-3. I really think they may
have been waiting for Canon to show their hand before making a final
announcement.
