D80 is a plastic D200 with reduced manual lens capatibility, they even have
the same big viewfinder. The 40D shoot at 6.5fps, lots of buffers and with
far bigger viewfinder. The E-510 is just a E-410 with IS but nothing else.
I remember the comparison from Olympus Powerpoint, they compare their E-3
with D300 and 40D.
