http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/NikonD60/page29.asp says 'Cameras such
as the Olympus E-410 (and its promising successor the E-420) offer a
fuller feature set in an equally small (and affordable) body' at the
last-but-one paragraph.

While I appreciate the commendation, the side-by-side comparision
<http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare_post.asp?method=sidebyside&cameras=nikon_d60%2Coly_e420&show=all>
 shows the E-420 to be 82g ligher (without counting lenses), and quite
smaller too.  Even the E-510 is lighter (even if bigger), and that
including image stabilisation.  A quick click at the price links show
even the E-510 to be US$85 cheaper, even with the double kit including
a telephoto zoom lens.

Kind of continuing the trend of considering the E-3 heavy and
expensive without taking into account proper comparisions.

There was a time when David got some respect when compared to Goliah...
